Shimano VANFORD C5000XGF with SPGF 8-17 7’0″ CHAOS Gold Combo

Shimano VANFORD C5000XGF Sculpted from over a decade of engineering advancement and a rich lineage of predecessors, the new Vanford tests the boundaries of technology and engineering found in spinning reels. Built upon a CI4+ body for both a lightweight feel and carbon rigidity, the Vanford incorporates a MagnumLite (MGL) Rotor for up to 48% less rotational inertia than traditional rotor construction for a quick response in critical situations. The Vanford features Shimano’s cold-forged HAGANE Gear and many of Shimano’s premium technologies for increased fishing performance and years of durability. Vanford’s SilentDrive and MicroModule Gear II technologies combine to produce a new level of smooth rotational performance while reducing overall reel vibration. Vanford also incorporates Long Stroke Spool technology to increase casting distance while producing a smoother line lay on the spool during retrieval. X-Protect technology and water-channeling construction enhances Vanford’s water resistance and overall durability — an important feature for a reel sure to be found in inshore environments. From ice fishing and drop-shot fishing for smallies in the sweetwater to stalking tailing fish in the flats, the Vanford has no equal. A legend is born. SPGF 8-17 7’0″ CHAOS Gold Very sensitive lightweight spin rod made from IM-6 graphite blanks. Lighter and thinner than our E-glass rods, ideally suited when sensitivity is key. Guides are under wrapped with gold thread so they never touch the blank and then double wrapped with black thread to ensure maximum strength.
