Shimano has once again earned ICAST’s Best Freshwater Reel award, this time with the Vanford A. Featuring a strong, featherweight CI4+ body, this smooth-running spinning reel incorporates Shimano’s InfinityXross and Infinity Drive gear designs and the tough DuraCross drag system. Another cool feature is the MGL Rotor, which lets you start and stop the reel with minimal effort, making it perfect for FFS presentations.
