Vanquish

Shimano Vanquish - Premium ultra-light reel

Shimano Vanquish FC is the purest expression of the Shimano Magnumlite philosophy. A reel made with the utmost Japanese precision for those who demand only the best from themselves and their equipment.

Exceptional sensitivity and smoothness

The Vanquish is a reel whose sensitivity and smoothness make it ideal for fishing with ultra-light lures, such as bass, trout and pike. However, it is also suitable for a wide range of fishing methods and species, including saltwater angling with the larger 4000 and 5000 size models. The Vanquish will help you achieve top results in every fishing situation.

The first thing you will notice is the weight of this reel, or rather the lack of it. The mid-size 3000 model weighs only 170 g - that's really surprising, and you will feel it.

New quality standards in UL fishing

Vanquish is setting new quality standards in the world of UL fishing. Shimano has chosen the Beyond Lightness principle to create a premium lightweight spinning mechanism with extraordinary performance. This is the pinnacle of the lightest reel available, fully loaded with Shimano technology that comes from the STELLA series.

Exceptional lightness and strength

TheVanquish' s lightness is achieved thanks to Shimano's exclusive Ci4+ composite material, which also helps to reduce the weight of the reel. This is complemented by the Magnumlite Rotor, which further reduces the initial rotational inertia resistance. This slow start is essential when using ultra-lightweight fishing techniques, allowing for even more precise control of the lure.

Shimano has eliminated any slack in all parts of the reel, further improving its accuracy and craftsmanship.

InfinityDrive and InfinityLoop technologies

Another great advantage is InfinityDrive technology, which delivers a powerful yet lightweight rotation, especially under heavy loads. Even in extreme conditions, you can maintain a constant and consistent pulling pressure, which is very useful when you've caught a big fish.

Casting distance is significantly improved with the InfinityLoop. This will help you reach those remote spots, even if you are using very light fishing gear.

Other advanced technologies

Other advanced technologies such as InfinityXross, X-Protect and Anti-Twist Fin also contribute to this reel's outstanding technical performance and durability.

The best choice for ultra-light fishing

If you're not willing to compromise on quality and performance in your ultra-light fishing gear, this is the reel you're looking for. The Shimano Vanquish is a premium reel for anglers who value only the best technology and performance.

Without advertising

The Shimano Vanquish is a completely different type of reel to the Twinpower, which is a step down in price. The Twinpower is a power reel, while the Vanquish is the lightest reel, and no company has been able to make a lighter reel than it. Older Vanquish models also led the way in weight, but with modern technology this model is getting lighter. The question is how durable will it be? The two older Vanquish models have, despite the concerns, served well and continue to do so today.
