SHIMANO VANFORD C3000HG

The new Shimano Vanford is the go-to reel when it comes down to finesse- and
sensitive fishing applications in freshwater and saltwater inshore environments.
The unique MGL rotor design contributes greatly to reeling sensitivity and
rotation lightness, lending it perfectly for finesse techniques where meticulous
lure control is needed.

Hagane Gear The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano's coldforging
technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a
long-lasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the
reel. Traditional die cast, machined gears are less durable under heavy loads.

Micromodule II Improved Micro Module gearing, making the reeling extreme smooth.

XShip
XShip is a combination of features that work together to create much greater
efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the centre line of the large
diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The
pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano ARB roller bearings. This creates
more stability.

Silent Drive
Removed 'clicking' sound and 'handle play' and overall improved smooth reeling.

MGL Rotor
The new design of the Magnumlite Rotor produces unprecedented light rotation.
The rotor profile, which was previously symmetrical, is now asymmetrical. The
bail arm mechanism, which was previously situated on the same side as the line
roller, has been moved to the opposite side. This improves balance and combined
with a lightweight line roller, titan bail and optimum arrangement of rotor
thickness, a 14% saving in rotation inertia has been achieved increasing
sensitivity to previously unreached levels.

XProtect
The contact type triplelip structure is introduced to the roller clutch, the
pivotal point concerning water resistance. In this structure, the first lip
prevents water from entering through the space between the rotor and the body.
In addition, the special grease between the second and third lip where it makes
contact with the rotor collar located at the upper part of the roller clutch not
only resists water from entering but also minimizes friction resistance. Without
jeopardizing the 'silky smooth rotation capacity', the vital feature of STELLA
SW, exceptional water resistance, has been achieved to withstand the crashing
and splashing of waves and spray.

G Free Body
G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's centre of gravity
closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the worm shaft oscillation
mechanism 19mm from the bottom of the reel to the top. By moving the centre of
gravity closer to the anglers hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce
fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

ARC Spool
Shimano ARC Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This
design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller
coils resulting in longer more accurate casts. ARC spools are proven to reduce
backlash and wind knots when using braid.

Long Stroke Spool
The long stroke spool has longer stroke compared to conventional spool designs.
This longer stroke specification results in greater casting distance.

CI4+
CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical material
is 2.5 times stiffer than CI4 and is used on many high-end Shimano reels to
increase weight savings. Use of CI4+ for the body and rotor also delivers
remarkable stiffness for better reel efficiency.

Shimano S ARB
Shimano S ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARB ball bearings with an
extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.
