Spinning

Team Lew’s Custom Lite Spinning reel is built with the all-new carbon fiber frame for the highest level of performance at a remarkably light weight. The precision-machined drive gear, cut with premium CNC carving machining, ensures an ultra-tight gear mesh for exceptionally effortless retrieval and smooth handling. Featuring a hybrid carbon drag system for smooth drag pressure under both light and heavy loads. Lew’s 11 stainless steel bearing system and a braid-ready double-anodized aluminum spool. Lew’s Custom Lite is the pinnacle of achievement in spinning reel performance. Strong and durable – at an extremely light weight. Depend on it for any finesse application

There is, quite simply, no reel with the brilliant, eye-popping design of the MACH® 2. Its striking appearance is hard to ignore. But make no mistake, this is more than a pretty package! The MACH 2 Spinning Reel features a premium aluminum frame and skeletal C40 Carbon rotor for extreme durability on a lightweight platform. Powerful enough to handle big baits and duel with giant fish, yet small and light enough to finesse like a pro. The DuraMax™ drag is famous for its smooth handling of hard-fighting fish on super light line. The MACH anodized handle and popular Winn® Dri-Tac handle knob put the angler in charge of the action. Land more fish and get back to the water for another battle.

The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new Propulsion Spool Lip design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, Shimano’s new spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while also preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. G-Free Body technology has been 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.

Shimano's state-of-the-art HAGANE Gear technology lies at the heart of the redesigned Sedona FJ spinning reel, providing long-lasting smoothness and durability for assured resilience.

This reputation for dependability and versatility prevails in the all-new Stradic FM, the newest addition to Shimano's CoreSolid lineup of spinning reels. Showcasing reel technologies passed down from Shimano's flagship spinning reels, the redesigned Stradic FM adds InfinityXross technology for unequaled gear durability and synergy by extending the gear tooth horizontally to distribute load across the gear tooth more evenly. This parlays Shimano's legacy of cold-forged HAGANE gearing for added strength with the refinement of MicroModule II for the ultimate reeling experience. The addition of InfinityDrive delivers light rotation and increased cranking power under load, while the new Duracross Drag system provides the smooth performance of felt with up to 10 times the durability. Shimano's X-Protect water-repellent coating and specially designed, water-channeling labyrinth construction ensure a lifetime of dependable performance by stopping water penetration in key areas without adding a heavy rotational feel. The new Anti-Twist Fin — an elastic polymer on the underside of the roller — enhances line management for anglers fishing monofilament or fluorocarbon line. The all-new Stadic FM — the most complete Stradic in a long lineage of performance.

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 enhance 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.Note: The Vanford 500 (VF500F) does not include the following features: MGL Rotor, MicroModule Gear II, X-Protect Body or Long Stroke Spool.
