Shimano Vanford C3000 HG VFC3000HGF

Sculpted from over a decade of engineering advancement and a rich lineage of predecessors, the new Vanford tests the boundaries of technology and engineering found in spinning reels. Built upon a CI4+ body for both a lightweight feel and carbon rigidity, the Vanford incorporates a MagnumLite (MGL) Rotor for up to 48% less rotational inertia than tr... moreaditional rotor construction for a quick response in critical situations. The Vanford features Shimano's cold-forged HAGANE Gear and many of Shimano's premium technologies for increased fishing performance and years of durability. Vanford's SilentDrive and MicroModule Gear II technologies combine to produce a new level of smooth rotational performance while reducing overall reel vibration. Vanford also incorporates Long Stroke Spool technology to increase casting distance while producing a smoother line lay on the spool during retrieval. X-Protect technology and water-channeling construction enhances Vanford's water resistance and overall durability — an important feature for a reel sure to be found in inshore environments. From ice fishing and drop-shot fishing for smallies in the sweetwater to stalking tailing fish in the flats, the Vanford has no equal. A legend is born.Specifications:- Mono Line Capacity (#test/yd): 6/200, 8/140, 10/120 - Weight (oz): 6.3 - Bearings: 7+1 - Gear Ratio: 6.0:1 - Retrieve Per Crank (in): 35 - Powerpro Braid (lb/yds): 10/150, 15/145, 30/100 - Max Drag (lb): 20 Technology:AERO WRAP II:- This two-speed oscillation system layers the line onto the spool in a crisscross pattern that reduces line-to-line friction for longer casts. Aero Wrap reels utilize a patented worm gear design to move the spool upward quickly and downward slowly to wind the line in a precise pattern, reducing friction, and giving smoother, longer casting ability.CI4+:- CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical material is 2.5 times stiffer than CI4 and is used to increase weight savings.CROSS CARBON DRAG:- This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.G-FREE BODY:- G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel´s center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the anglers hand position, the G-Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.HAGANE GEAR:- With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of the reel. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives you the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that you feel when you first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear. Instead the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and then formed by Shimano´s cold forging technology. The result is assured resilience. It´s the fruit of Shimano´s inexhaustible pursuit for durability, the strength and power of forged metal
