Shimano Vanford A 2500 Hga 5.8 Spinning Reel - Vf2500hga

DURACROSS significantly improves abrasion resistance, delivering approximately ten times the durability of conventional materials. The Anti-Twist Fin reduces line slack and drop, improving casting control and confidence. INFINITYXROSS and INFINITYDRIVE technologies further enhance winding power and overall durability. The lineup covers everything from area trout and sea bass fishing to squid and shore jigging.

Features

• Anti-Twist Fin - Maintains line tension to reduce sagging and prevents the line from falling off the bottom of the spool or wrapping around the spool in an uneven manner.
• DuraCross - Provides smooth and reliable drag performance with incredible durability, without sacrificing a smooth drag feel, this new material is greater than 10x more durable for improved drag performance.
• G-Free Body - Developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler's hand, the G-Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.
• Hagane Gear - The application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again.
• Hagane - Created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering.
• Infinity Drive - An advanced structure that creates exceptionally light winding. The main shaft is now supported by a new and unique low-friction bushing that significantly decreases frictional resistance. In addition, the main shaft has undergone a proprietary surface treatment and special processing to drastically reduce rotational torque, constructing a reel that can actively wind even under heavy loads.
• InfinityXross - This revolutionary design efficiently distributes the load placed on the gear tooth surface across a wider area to prevent damage from stress points while significantly improving overall gear durability.
• Long Stroke Spool - Produces a smoother line lay during retrieval and translates into increased casting distance for anglers.
• MGL Rotor -  Produces unprecedented light rotation within the MagnumLite family of spinning reels. Achieving up to a 14% reduction in rotational inertia to increase sensitivity to unprecedented levels, plus rigidity is up to 30% higher than conventional models and contributes to enhanced drag performance.
• MicroModule Gear II - The surfaces of the drive gear and pinion gear have been analyzed and updated from the ground up in Shimano's pursuit of perfection to further improve the smooth gear feeling and reducing sound.
• One-Piece Bail - Allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. The seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm.
• S A-RB Spinning - Feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting rotation of the bearing.
• SilentDrive - Removes unnecessary noise and vibration. In doing so, the overall tolerances are improved to a micron level, ultimately creating an overall quieter and smoother reel operation.
• X Protect - In addition to conventional water-repellent treatment, a labyrinth structure that suppresses water penetration is combined to achieve high water resistant performance despite the non-contact nature of the structure.
• X-Ship Spinning - Provides improved gear durability by allowing the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated, enhancing casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.
