The all new Vanford is designed to become the ultimate finesse fishing reel with a super-fast start up. Replacing the iconic Stradic Ci4+, this reel is equipped with a range of technology upgrades that sets the Vanford apart. Still drawing upon a lightweight Ci4+ body construction, the new MGL rotor makes the reel 48% lighter to turn when compared to a standard rotor design. Micromodule Gear II and Silent Drive is featured in the new Vanford and the Hagane Gear has been upgraded for added strength. X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation. This has increased the durability of the Vanford’s roller clutch and line roller to an IPX8 standard. By incorporating the new Long Stroke Spool design, casting performance has also been improved.

Reel is the lightest 4000 size I've owned. I'm currently using 30 lb braid and free lining baits on a mh rod for inshore. Works great.

I have owned many Shimano NASCIs Sustains, Twin Powers, and Stellas over the years. I thought I would try a Shimano Vanford. The reel is, as advertised, very light. That said, the reel looks and feels very cheaply made. I tried the reel for the first time this week at the South Carolina four-day six-man bass fishing event. The drag sticks and at about 8 lbs of drag-tension the spool wobbles as the line is pulled from it. DON'T Buy! I recommend the Shimano Twin Power 4000 FD. It is a fair superior very smooth reel.
