Vanquish FC 1000SSS PG Reel

The Vanquish is the pure embodiment of the Shimano Magnumlite philosophy!

Manufactured with Japanese precision, it is the ultimate lightweight spinning reel for all those who demand the highest standards from their tackle.
The reel's responsiveness and extremely smooth running make it perfect for fishing with ultra-light techniques for perch, trout, and zander. The Vanquish is available in many sizes and can be used for a wide variety of fishing techniques and target fish, including spinning in coastal saltwater with the larger 4000 and 5000 models. The Vanquish helps every angler achieve their optimal performance. The first thing you notice when you pick up the reel is the extremely low weight. The medium-sized 3000 version weighs just 170g!
The Vanquish sets completely new quality standards in ultra-light fishing. Shimano has made "Beyond Lightness" its motto in development and has constructed an extremely light and incredibly smooth-running reel. The Vanquish is the lightest MGL reel Shimano has ever produced and is also packed with exclusive high-end technologies that are otherwise only found in the STELLA.

The low overall weight is based on the extensive use of Shimano's exclusive and very lightweight Ci4+ composite material. In addition, the lightweight Magnumlite rotor reduces the overall weight of the reel and also ensures the incredibly low starting inertia when cranking. This extremely low starting resistance offers decisive advantages, especially in UL and finesse fishing. With the Vanquish, you will be able to use these fishing techniques even more efficiently. Thanks to the extremely low manufacturing tolerances, there is no play in the handle and you benefit from super precise performance.

Another major advantage is the InfinityDrive technology. This technology ensures powerful yet light rotation, especially under heavy load. In extreme situations, you can still maintain constant, even cranking pressure, which is very helpful when large fish need to be subdued.

The InfinityLoop technology significantly improves casting distance. This allows you to reach the interesting spot further out even with super light lures. Other advanced technologies such as InfinityXross, X-Protect, and the Anti-Twist Fin also contribute to the remarkable technical performance of this reel.

If you don't want to compromise on quality and performance with your ultra-light tackle, this reel must be your first choice.
