Shimano Vanford FA Spinning Reels

Embodying Shimano's endless pursuit of reduced weight, lower start-up inertia, and enhanced sensitivity, the Shimano Vanford FA Spinning Reels are ready to improve the angler's game on the water, fine-tuned and perfected to deliver the ultimate experience.

MGL ROTOR

At the core of this reel's design is its MGL Rotor, enhancing the angler's control to effectively employ various "start-and-stop" tactics that are used in many different fisheries, readily maximizing lure performance. Its rotor design was expertly crafted to be asymmetrical for balance, along with having less mass and physical weight to reduce the needed startup inertia for turning the handle. Shimano's proprietary Ci4+ material enables this weight reduction, requiring very little material to retain the required strength needed to withstand flex from serious drag pressures.

REFINED GEAR DESIGN

With the use of both XfinityXross and Infinity Drive Technology, the Vanford FA yields a supremely smooth and precise rotation with a highly efficient drive chain which maximizes every bit of force anglers turn the handle with. XfinityXross Technology employs a refined gear design for this elevated experience, while Infinity Drive Technology reduces the contact of the spool shaft and pinion gear to mitigate friction which would diminish overall performance.

ROBUST DRAG SYSTEM

Merging the wear resistance of and reliability of carbon drag washers with the smooth and performance of felt, Shimano created a new material for its drag system for the best of both worlds. Known as their DuraCross drag system its combination of materials are woven into a unique pattern over the standard drag washer, with 10x the durability for improved performance.

FEATURES AND TECHNOLOGY FOUND IN THE VANFORD FA SPINNING REELS:
  • Infinity Drive: Drastically reduces rotational torque, constructing a reel which can actively wind under heavy loads.
  • X-Protect: By combining a water repellant coating and a specially designed water channeling labyrinth construction, X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without adding weight or sacrificing light rotor rotation.
  • Hagane Body: A reel body with high rigidity, which virtually eliminates body flexing due to its stiffness and impact resistance. It's efficiency through strength.
  • Hagane Gearing: Cold-forged gearing for exceptional strength and durability, ensuring smooth performance from first use to long-term enjoyment.
  • MicroModule II Gear: State-of-the-art gear design makes use of smaller gear teeth and more of them, which results in a more efficient gear train and much smoother retrieve.
  • X-Ship: Eliminates friction between the spool shaft and gear which translates to better casting performance and increased gear durability.
  • Anti-Twist Fin: Enhanced line management for more effective fishing.
  • Dura Cross Drag: Utilizes cutting-edge materials woven into a unique pattern over the standard drag washer. This drag has felt like smoothness, with ten times the durability to counter blistering, high velocity runs for seasons to come.
  • InfinityXross: The load on the gear teeth themselves is spread apart horizontally on a larger surface area, creating more efficiency, mitigating potential stress points, and improving overall gear durability.
  • Silent Drive: Reduces spool vibration and noise during casting, resulting in quieter and smoother rotations with minimal play.
  • MGL Rotor: The Magnumlight Rotor is 25% lighter and allows for better balance and requires 22% less inertia, which makes it easier to start and stop the retrieve for a smoother feel.
  • G-Free Body: Reduces fatigue and enhances casting comfort.
  • Propulsion Line Management System: The most obvious component of this system is the Propulsion spool lip design, which has been proven through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations to provide longer casts while preventing backlashes and wind knots.
  • S A-RB Bearings: Undergo the same anti-corrosion process as Shimano's A-RB Bearings, with the addition of shields on both sides of the bearings to reduce the possibility of salt, dirt, or other foreign objects inhibiting the bearing's rotation.
  • Long Stroke Spool: Results in the line having to change direction while coming off the spool fewer times during a cast, resulting in less turbulence going through the guides for a smoother and longer cast.
  • One Piece Bail: A seamless design that allows the line to run unimpeded to the line roller. Reducing friction and mitigating line tangles is the name of the game.
  • Aero Wrap II: Utilizing a patented worm gear design, this two-speed oscillation system lays the line onto the spool in a X pattern that reduces line-on-line friction and helps to increase casting distance.

I want to live in these
Color: 01-multicolour (4-pack), Size: Medium
I bought 4 different sets of new underwear. Unfortunately these came last. It’s unfortunate, because if they had come first I would have cancelled all my other orders or returned them and ordered more of these. I never want to wear anything else ever again; these are the comfiest undies I’ve ever owned, I want to live in them. I can wear them under pretty much anything except leggings or very tight pants (but let’s be honest, I don’t wear those anyway.) They are incredibly soft and breathable, they wash well, don’t roll, keep my thighs from rubbing, are comfy to sleep in, and the colors were true to the photo. Just a heads up, they are on the thin side and just a bit see through in the rear. I’m 5’5” 140lbs and the mediums fit perfectly, they go about mid-thigh.

Extremely comfortable
Color: 02-multicolour (4-pack), Size: X-Large
These are by far the softest and most comfortable underwear I have ever owned. The leg portion absolutely does roll up as so many others have mentioned, however, I did not find that to be uncomfortable at all just annoying that they don’t stay in place. I bought these specific underwear to see if it would help alleviate HS symptoms at all. They have definitely helped with wicking moisture away from the skin. More time will tell if it’s truly helpful for HS. For now, I will recommend these. They are thin, breathable, butter soft, wick moisture comfortable and I would buy again…maybe in a different style next time. I have washed them several times and they seem to be holding up rather well so that is also of supreme importance given the cost of the item. Again, I would recommend this item and plan on purchasing more in a different style very soon.

Eaten by my Thighs
Color: 04-multicolour (4-pack), Size: X-Large
I wanted to love them. Sadly they have let me down. Pros: natural breathable fabric , super soft and comfortable, cotton panty gussets for feminine health and panty liners will stick!! Yay:). And the colors! They are great! But here’s the Con. And it’s the con of all cons. THEY RIDE UP!! Eaten by my thighs. I’m 5’6” and in the general area of 175. I fluctuate depending on how many times I visit the bakery! :) I don’t have a thigh gap but it is not a super tight thigh squeeze. I seldom have thigh climb but these do. I tried two different sizes to see if that made a difference. Nope. I was miserable at a recent theme park in these. I was wearing long heavy dresses and it was quite awkward to yank these legs down non stop. They feel amazing and they have all the requirements 1. Soft 2. Comfortable and stretches with you 3. Breathable with nice thin fabric. Not bulky 4. Natural fibers 5. Great colors If you are a person that is not blessed with Thunder Thighs, please order these. They are great! I wear them at home and to locations that I will not be doing a lot of walking at. I have washed them so many times and they look like new still.

Best Boxer Briefs for Women!
Color: 09-multicolour (4-pack), Size: Large
I rarely give 5⭐️’s but these deserve it! Hands down, the most comfortable material, stitching, waistband, moisture wicking and overall comfort. They sit right beneath my bellybutton, they wash and dry well and they’re sturdy. I have tried 3 styles and these are the best.

Super soft and comfortable!
I haven't bought new underwear in forever. I used to wear thongs, but now find them incredibly uncomfortable. The last few times I've tried to buy new underwear, the sizing was either way off (I'm a medium, but gave up after having to return them for a large and then extra large) or the quality was horrible (two brands stretch waaaay out and they can fall down while wearing them (I have larger ass-ets, so they shouldn't start to slide down during use). I tried these after buying some bamboo pyjamas and I love them! They are incredibly soft, comfortable, and stretchy. I can use them all day, and they work well, whether I'm lounging on the couch or wearing them under my spandex shorts at the gym, they don't ride up or slide down. They are both comfortable and look sexy, while providing support in all the right places. I haven't had them too long, so I can't speak on the durability, but they appear to be of good quality and I plan to order more, this time without the band.
