The Vanquish FA Competition Edition represents the ultimate evolution of Shimano’s MAGNUMLITE finesse concept. Directly derived from the legendary Vanquish FC, it has been further refined to meet the demands of technical and competitive spinning specialists.
Every component is engineered to deliver maximum sensitivity, instant response, and outstanding mechanical efficiency, even when fishing with ultra-light lures and ultra-thin braided lines. The result is a reel that transmits every subtle vibration directly to the angler’s hand.
The magnesium body provides exceptional rigidity at minimal weight, while the Ci4+ rotor drastically reduces start-up inertia for enhanced control and responsiveness. INFINITYLOOP technology ensures optimal line lay, minimizing friction and delivering longer, more consistent casts.
Reinforced INFINITYXROSS gears improve durability and power transfer, while INFINITYDRIVE maintains smooth rotation even under load. X-PROTECT prevents water and debris ingress without affecting rotational smoothness or sensitivity.
The ANTI-TWIST fin significantly improves fine braid management, reducing slack and line twist. Available in C2000, C2500 and 2500 sizes, with shallow spools optimized for PE 0.6–1.0 braids, it is the ideal reel for finesse applications targeting perch, trout and zander.
