SHIMANO 24 Vanford 4000MHG

FAST FORWARD - Control it at will.
As the core model of the Magnum Light series, which pursues lightness and reeling response, the Vanford is active in a wide range of games, including technical and finesse. The new model inherits the light operability, sensitivity, and comfortable winding feel of the previous model, but the Infinity Cross and Infinity Drive improve the powerful winding and gear durability. The use of Duracross, which has excellent wear resistance, has greatly improved the durability of the drag, which is about 10 times higher than the previous model according to Shimano standards. In addition, the newly installed anti-twist fin suppresses line trouble, further accelerating the comfortable use. All 13 items, including the newly released C2500SXG, cover everything from area trout and bass fishing to egging, sea bass, and shore jigging, making it a lineup suitable for the new era of lure games.

FAST FORWARD - Control it at will

ADVANCE FORWARD. That is the determination to continue evolving that is embodied in the name Vanford. FAST FORWARD. It's the accelerated evolution brought about by new technology. Control it at will with Vanford. Together with anglers who take a step forward in search of an exciting encounter.

Condensed mechanism x strong individuality

The sporty form suggests a practical tool. The symbolic red accent color accentuates the three-dimensional effect. The new Vanford aims for a dry, taut design that balances functionality and lightness. As a companion to play with you all day long, it has a personality worthy of the Vanford name. Lightness, operability, and a sense of rigidity when reeling. The slim, sharp silhouette is packed with the unwavering reliability cultivated in actual battles.

New possibilities brought about by the lightness of the rotor

In games where agility is important, the key is being able to control the lure's initial movement, the sharpness of its action, and the uniformity of reeling. The Magnum Light series focuses on this and introduces the lightweight Magnum Light Rotor. By thoroughly eliminating waste and achieving low inertia, the initial and still response of reeling is improved, sharpening the angler's senses and operability.

Low inertia allows for flexible reeling

Low inertia means that the reel starts rotating with a light force and can be controlled precisely when stopped with little force. This greatly improves the accuracy of lures that utilize winding and stationary motion.

Compared to the 23 Stradic, which is equipped with a rotor made of high-strength plastic, the new Vanford, which is equipped with a Magnum Lite rotor, achieves approximately 39% lower inertia. It fully demonstrates its advantages in fishing where you continuously reel in a lightweight lure at a dead slow speed or where you frequently alternate between reeling and stopping.

A new style of play born from a 34% lighter rotor

The Magnum Light Rotor is significantly lighter than rotors made of metal or high-strength resin. The new Vanford Magnum Light Rotor is approximately 34% lighter than the 23 Stradic's high-strength resin rotor. It greatly contributes to improving the response of lure operation and the angler's hand sensitivity, expanding the possibilities for new game styles.

Carbon fiber reinforced resin CI4+ for true weight reduction

True lightweighting in reel design means achieving a new level of lightness without compromising strength or durability. Vanford aimed to resolve this contradiction by using Shimano's proprietary carbon fiber reinforced resin CI4+ for the body and rotor. CI4+ is lightweight yet highly rigid, reducing distortion of the reel body and firmly protecting the internal structure such as gear meshing. It maintains smooth rotation and drag performance for a long time.

Lightness, sensitivity, and toughness. The core model of the MGL series that has evolved in all respects

The Vanford reel has been supported by many anglers as the core reel of the Magnum Light series. The new model retains the HAGANE gear, X-Protect, Micro Module Gear II, and other equipment, but also incorporates new technologies found in higher-end models such as Infinity Cross, Infinity Drive, Anti-Twist Fin, and Duracross. In addition to the well-known lightness, response, and sensitivity, the reel has further evolved in strength and toughness.

Overwhelming gear durability thanks to solid design and manufacturing technology

Advances in gear tooth design and manufacturing technology 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 in one area, and has improved durability by approximately twice as much compared to previous designs.

Powerful winding that puts you in control at all times

The main shaft, which was previously supported by a pinion gear, is now supported by a special low-friction bush, greatly reducing sliding resistance, and the main shaft itself has been given a special surface treatment to reduce rotational torque. This reel has evolved into one that can actively reel in even under high load.

Line trouble prevention structure for more comfortable fishing

Line trouble prevention structure for more comfortable fishing. An elastic fin is installed close to the line roller. By reducing line slack, it reduces the occurrence of the line falling off the bottom of the spool or the line being wound around the spool in a twisted state.

Overwhelming wear resistance, smooth and reliable drag performance

Overwhelming wear resistance, smooth and reliable drag performance. New drag washer made of new material. New fibers are woven perpendicular to the fiber direction of 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.

Technical Vanford, versatile Stradic

Vanford from the Magnum Light series and Stradic from the Core Solid series. They are often compared because they are in a similar price range and lineup, but there is a clear difference in their design intent. Vanford from the Magnum Light series, which specializes in lightness and response, uses CI4+ for the body and rotor. With its light weight and low inertia, it excels in a style that allows you to seize instant opportunities and launch technical attacks.

On the other hand, the Stradic from the Core Solid series, which pursues stable reeling, is attractive for its versatility, which allows it to handle any type of fishing with ease, focusing on reeling. The rigidity of the aluminum body is also popular.

The lightweight, low inertia and technical Vanford and the highly rigid, highly durable and versatile Stradic. Enjoy using each one to their full potential.

Standard high gear model, size 4000
The winding speed is just right, not too slow and not too fast. A versatile model that can be used for a wide range of fishing. Equipped with an M spool, it is ideal for fishing using PE lines from No. 1 to No. 1.5. Recommended for anglers who are concerned about the winding weight of XG.
