The Vanquish FC spinning reel, the lightweight Shimano reel par excellence! The Vanquish represents the philosophy of Shimano. This top-of-the-range reel is manufactured with the utmost Japanese precision and is designed for those who demand the very best.
The Vanquish FC is a light and very smooth reel, making it ideal for ultra-light fishing techniques for trout, perch, zander or chub. However, the Vanquish comes in a range of sizes and can be used for many different techniques and species, including shore casting in sizes 4000 and 5000.
The Vanquish is the ultimate mechanical reel with unrivalled features. It's the ultimate in ultra-light reels and features the very best technology from Shimano, derived mainly from the well-known Stella reel.
The lightness of the Vanquish comes from the intensive use of Shimano's exclusive Ci4+ composite material. This is further enhanced by the addition of the Magnumlite rotor, which also contributes to the reel's incredibly low inertia. This smoothness is particularly important for finesse fishing and ultra-light techniques. Shimano has eliminated the play in every component, further enhancing the reel's meticulous precision.
You'll benefit from the InfinityDrive function, which provides a powerful yet light spin, especially under heavy loads. In extreme situations, you can still maintain a constant and even crank pressure, which is very useful when fighting a big fish in both sea and freshwater.
The InfinityLoop dramatically improves casting distance, ideal for sea or shore fishing. 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.
