Shimano 23 Vanquish

Shimano 23 Vanquish 2500SHG is the pure embodiment of the Shimano Magnumlite philosophy. It is designed with the utmost Japanese precision and is designed for those who want to fish with the best gear possible.

Shimano chose “Beyond Lightness” to create a superior winding mechanism with unmatched characteristics. It’s the pinnacle of ultra-lightweight reels and packed to the brim with Shimano technology, mostly sourced from the range topping STELLA series.

Shimano 23 Vanquish 2500SHG lightness is ensured by extensive use of Shimano’s exclusive Ci4+ composite material. This is enhanced by the addition of a Magnumlite rotor, which also contributes to incredibly low launch inertia during winding. This slow launch inertia is especially important in light spinning techniques.

Another big benefit is the addition of InfinityDrive. This technology provides powerful yet light rotation, especially under heavy loads.

Adding InfinityLoop improves casting distance considerably. This will help you reach that interesting spot far out, even with a super lightweight set-up. Other advanced technologies, like InfinityXross, X-Protect and the Anti-Twist Fin contribute further to the remarkable technical performance of this reel.

The Shimano 23 Vanquish 2500SHG is a fantastic light lure reel. The combination of the 5.8:1 HG gearing and the almost inertia free rotation of the Magnumlite rotor allow you to confidently work lures from snail like slowness up to high speed chasing inducing wave hopping.

The shallow spool of the Shimano 23 Vanquish 2500SHG is perfect for use with light PE braids. Match the reel to a similar quality light lure rod and you will have a superb finesse/LRF outfit to give you maximum enjoyment from your light line lure fishing.
