The Shimano Vanquish FA Competition Edition sets the benchmark for freshwater finesse and competitive spinning. Part of Shimano’s elite MAGNUMLITE series, it is engineered to deliver extreme lightness, instant response, and absolute control, crucial when fishing under high-pressure conditions. Manufactured in Japan to the highest Shimano standards, it combines an ultra-lightweight design with smooth and direct power transmission, making it ideal for ultra-thin braided lines and high-precision light presentations. Designed for experienced anglers, it excels in finesse, ultra-light and tournament applications. The magnesium body paired with a Ci4+ rotor provides ultra-low start-up inertia, maximizing sensitivity and responsiveness. INFINITYLOOP technology features a slow spool oscillation that ensures perfect line lay, reduced friction, and longer, smoother casts with lightweight lures. INFINITYXROSS reinforces internal gears for increased durability, while INFINITYDRIVE guarantees smooth rotation even under load. X-PROTECT shields the reel from water and debris without adding resistance, and the ANTI-TWIST fin keeps fine braid perfectly controlled. Available in C2000, C2500 and 2500 sizes, with shallow spools optimized for PE 0.6–1.0 braids, the Vanquish Competition is ideal for targeting perch, trout and zander with unmatched precision.
