Shimano Vanford
The Shimano Vanford is an awesome reel. I got the 2500 for drop shot fishing on a 7ft. medium light rod.It retrieves quickly, cast well and has a really smooth drag allowing for the finer hooks needed for this style of fishing. In using it the few times I've have, this reel has enough guts for some saltwater applications.

Smooth Reel
Very light and very smooth reel!! Excellent for a drift reel for Steelhead!! The 2500 has plenty of drag for big fish !!

Smoothest, lightest spinning reel I own!
Quality is excellent, as to be expected with Shimano fishing products. Very much looking forward to using this on the openwater. Pairs very nicely with my Expride, super lightweight. Seller was very easy to deal with, great communication, and shipped very quickly. Thank you!
