Shimano's Vanquish FC is the new model of this fantastic reel, pure embodiment of the Shimano Magnumlite philosophy. A reel made with the highest Japanese precision, extremely light and smooth, designed for those who demand the most from their equipment. All its unique characteristics in terms of reactivity, lightness and smoothness make it perfect both for ultra-light use in freshwater and in saltwater, but also for medium-light techniques such as Seabass SW Spinning and more. The new Vanquish FC is the pinnacle of Shimano's ultra light reels and is packed with technologies primarily derived from the STELLA. Its lightness comes from extensive use of Shimano's unique Ci4+ composite material, which is not only super light, but is also very strong and stiff. This is enhanced by the addition of the Magnumlite rotor, which also contributes to the incredibly low startup inertia. This slow start-up inertia is particularly important in precision fishing and ultra light techniques, so as to make fishing more precise than ever. Shimano has eliminated play in every component, which further increases the meticulous precision of the reel, inserting another great advantage, namely the InfinityDrive; this technology produces a powerful but light rotation, especially under heavy loads. In extreme situations, a constant and consistent handle pressure can be maintained, which is very useful when hooking a big fish. The addition of the InfinityLoop greatly improves casting distance; this will help to reach that interesting far point, even with a light molot mount. Other advanced technologies, such as InfinityXross, X-Protect and Anti-Twist Fin, further contribute to the remarkable technical performance of this reel. If you are looking for a reel of the highest quality, with excellent performance, super light and smooth, the new Vanquish FC is the right choice!
INFINITY XROSS
It's an advanced transmission technology that uses gears with wider teeth. The larger surface area distributes pressure more evenly across the entire face of the teeth when they meet during rotation. Compared to traditional gears, INFINITYXROSS increases service life by 100% without affecting fluidity. Advantages: INFINITYXROSS offers longer life, especially in extreme pressure conditions, resulting in an increase in reel life. This allows the reel to work at its maximum performance for longer and without loss of power.
INFINITY LOOP
It's an ultra slow swing designed for smaller sized spinning reels. The spool moves up and down very slowly, allowing the line to wind in an almost parallel configuration. This creates a smooth profile that improves line handling when casting and also when fighting fish.
Advantages: The INFINITYLOOP reduces the speed of ascent and descent of the reel. This results in less friction and vibration as the line leaves the spool and reduces drag on the lure, improving casting distance and accuracy. When fighting fish, the line is released from the spool more smoothly, increasing control over the prey.
INFINITY DRIVE
It's the evolution of the conventional X-SHIP, made even more powerful. Winding resistance has been significantly reduced by supporting the main shaft, which was previously supported by a pinion, with a special low-friction bushing. In addition, by applying a special surface treatment and special machining to the main shaft itself, the rotation torque is significantly reduced.
Advantages: Thanks to the INFINITY DRIVE it will be possible to recover in a much more fluid and precise way even under high pressure.
ANTI-TWIST FIN
It's a removable elastic fin (to be removed only if you use lines greater than 0.47mm or with big knots), placed on the rotor next to the line guide. It's designed to create the perfect tension between the line and the spool and ensure better line management efficiency, especially when using the soft and thin braid.
Advantages: The ANTI-TWIST FIN is particularly useful for those who fish with thin diameters or very soft lines and braids. If the line between the reel and the lure loosens when retrieve is stopped, or immediately after casting, the ANTI-TWIST FIN prevents the line from coming out of the line guide, avoiding any problems whatsoever.
DURACROSS DRAG
It's an advanced drag construction that combines the best features of felt washers with the longer life of crossed carbon washers.
Advantages: DURACROSS DRAG is a fantastic combination of fluidity and durability. Provides enough starting power for effective shoeing, and smoothness and durability for a better fighting fishing experience.
