Vanquish FC

The Vanquish is the pure embodiment of the Shimano Magnumlite philosophy. It is manufactured with the utmost Japanese precision and is designed for those who demand the very best from themselves and their equipment.
The reactivity and smoothness of this reel make it perfect for ultra-light fishing techniques for Perch, Trout and Zander / Pike-perch. However, the Vanquish comes in a range of sizes and can be used for many different techniques and species, including fishing from the shore with the 4000 and 5000 size casts. The Vanquish will guide you to make the most of every adventure. The first thing you'll notice is the reel's weight - or lack of it. The mid-sized 3000 weighs just 170 g - it's remarkable and you'll notice it.
The Vanquish sets new quality standards in ultra-light fishing Shimano has gone beyond lightness to create the ultimate mechanic with unrivalled features. It's the ultimate in ultra-light reels and features Shimano's best technologies, derived primarily from STELLA.

The Vanquish's light weight comes from extensive use of Shimano's exclusive Ci4+ composite material. This feature is enhanced by the addition of the Magnumlite rotor, which also contributes to the reel's incredibly low starting inertia. This slow starting inertia is particularly important for finesse fishing and UL techniques. You'll be able to fish these techniques with more precision than ever. Shimano has eliminated backlash in every component, further enhancing the reel's meticulous precision.

The addition of the InfinityDrive function is another important benefit. This technology provides powerful yet light rotation, especially under heavy loads. In extreme situations, you can still maintain constant and even crank pressure, which is very useful when fighting a big fish.

The addition of InfinityLoop dramatically improves casting distance. This will help you reach that interesting spot in the distance, even with a super-light combo. Other advanced technologies, such as InfinityXross, X-Protect and Anti-Twist Fin contribute to the remarkable technical performance of this reel.

If you don't want to compromise on the quality and performance of your ultra-light fishing gear, this is the reel for you.
