SHIMANO 23 Vanquish 3000MHG

Going beyond "lightness"
As the pinnacle of the MGL series, it is not only lightweight, has low inertia, and has high sensitivity, but also has Infinity Technology, which gives it a smooth casting feel, durability, winding comfort, and power. In addition, line trouble-free performance and drag wear resistance have also been greatly improved. It is not just light, but true lightness that combines strength with flexibility. Vanquish has overwhelming potential in all directions. Shimano spinning reels are at the cutting edge of racing specs, and we want to deliver unprecedented response to stoic anglers who challenge the limits.

HAGANE
Shimano's design philosophy is to use metal processing technology to create products that can truly be used.
Robust enough to be used safely even in harsh conditions. A precise winding feel and a solid operability that stimulates the senses. And winding power beyond imagination. By stubbornly pursuing reels that anglers can truly use, the work has produced HAGANE gear and HAGANE body, which has become Shimano's belief. Everything is for the angler.

HAGANE Gear
The aim was to create a winding feel that will never change.
A block of metal is pressed under high pressure and finished with micron-level precision without cutting. A unique technology called precision cold forging creates a hard, tenacious gear, enabling a smooth winding feel.

Micro Module Gear II
Light and smooth. A gem of a gear feel.
Micro Module Gear II has evolved with cutting-edge tooth surface design and manufacturing technology unique to Shimano. The design of each gear tooth and each tooth surface has been reviewed to pursue the ideal tooth shape. We have also achieved reduced noise and improved smooth gear feeling.

X Ship
Larger diameter of drive gear, optimal placement of both pinion and drive gears, and two-point support by pinion gear bearings. These robust gear meshing maintains light and easy reeling that is resistant to load.

HAGANE Body
By using lightweight and highly rigid metals such as aluminum and magnesium, the reel's deflection, distortion, and twisting are firmly suppressed. It protects the delicate gear meshing and enables smooth reeling.

Infinity Loop
Significantly reduces line release resistance, and gives a smooth casting feel
"Ultra" dense winding that goes beyond dense winding. The evolution of the internal structure has overwhelmingly slowed down the speed at which the spool moves up and down. By winding the line neatly and precisely one by one around the spool, we have succeeded in significantly reducing the line release resistance. We have achieved a smooth casting feel and smooth line release.

Infinity Cross
Overwhelming gear durability thanks to solid design and manufacturing technology
Advances in the design and manufacturing technology of the gear teeth have improved the contact area between the drive gear and pinion gear. As a result, we have succeeded in distributing the load on the gear teeth over a wider range. This prevents damage from being concentrated and has significantly improved durability compared to conventional designs.

Infinity Drive
Powerful winding that always lets you take the lead.
The main shaft, which was previously supported by the pinion gear, is supported by a special low-friction bush, significantly reducing sliding resistance, and the main shaft itself is given a special surface treatment to reduce rotational torque. It has evolved into a reel that can be actively wound even under high load.

Duracross
Overwhelming wear resistance, smooth and reliable drag performance
New drag washer made of new material. New fibers are woven perpendicular to the fiber direction that makes up the conventional drag washer to strengthen the material. We have succeeded in increasing wear resistance by more than 10 times while maintaining smooth drag performance.

Silent Drive
A sense of tranquility and unity, with every detail thoroughly considered.
The basic design of the entire body and each drive-related part have been reviewed one by one, and minute rattles, gaps, and vibrations between parts have been thoroughly eliminated down to the smallest detail. The areas subject to improvement are diverse, including the drive gear, worm shaft, worm shaft pin, worm shaft gear, and sliding gear. A new dimension of smooth rotation performance and quiet winding comfort has been achieved.

Magnum Light Rotor
Reduced rotational inertia and strengthened rotor rigidity.
The Magnum Light Rotor adopts an asymmetric rotor structure, achieving an unprecedented level of rotational lightness in pursuit of improved operability and sensitivity. In addition, the line roller has been made lighter, the veil has been made titanium, and the rotor thickness has been optimally positioned to successfully reduce rotational inertia.

Anti-Twist Fin
A line trouble suppression structure for more comfortable fishing.
Elastic fins are installed close to the line roller. By reducing line slack, it reduces the phenomenon of the line falling off the bottom of the spool and the line being wound around the spool while twisted.

X Protect
Shimano's ironclad waterproof structure.
For small and medium-sized general-purpose and casting spinning reels that require lighter rotation, we have focused on a non-contact structure so as not to impair the lightness of rotation. In addition to the conventional water-repellent treatment, we have combined a labyrinth structure that prevents water from entering, achieving high waterproof performance while being non-contact. It is used in the stopper bearing section, line roller section, etc.

G Free Body
The sliding functional parts that move the spool back and forth are placed on the top of the reel body, successfully moving the center of gravity of the entire reel closer to the hand. This improves the sense of unity with the rod, reduces fatigue caused by casting, and improves rod operability.

AR-C Spool
A spool with a special spool ring shape. This creates a line straightening effect, achieving both suppression of line trouble and long-distance casting performance.

Long stroke spool
Long stroke design spool
By increasing the width of the spool winding part, the amount of line loss in the latter half of the cast can be reduced, contributing to improved casting feeling and distance.

CI4+
A new carbon material that is an evolution of the lightweight carbon material CI4. While maintaining its lightness, the rigidity and durability have been significantly improved, making it possible to make the reel smaller and lighter.

Rigid support drag
By supporting the spool at two points, the main shaft and the bearings inside the spool, the spool wobble is suppressed and stable and smooth drag performance is achieved.

S A-RB
By applying a special rust prevention treatment to the bearing itself, the durability against rust has been greatly improved. The S A-RB further seals the sides with a rust prevention material, significantly reducing salt jamming caused by salt recrystallization inside the bearing.

One-piece veil
We have succeeded in manufacturing a seamless one-piece molded veil. It is beautiful in appearance and trouble-free.
