Shimano Vanford FA / Sahara Spinning Combo

Reel - Shimano Vanford FA
The Vanford is one of Shimano's most responsive spinning reels. Perfect for a variety of fishing styles that require precision, the Vanford is part of the Magnumlite range and pushes the boundaries of lightweight technology and engineering, delivering an exceptional level of finesse that you can really feel and are sure to appreciate.

The inertia required to get the Vanford rotor moving is almost imperceptible. It's hard to describe the feeling, but pick one up and you'll immediately understand what we mean. With responsiveness and ease comes control, and with control comes better fishing and greater success. It's a win-win situation, and when it comes to fishing with light lures, there's not much that can compete with the Vanford. Combine it with a high-quality finesse rod and you will immediately improve your balance, allowing you to fish better, longer and increase your enjoyment.

The sensitivity of the Vanford is partly a result of the second generation Magnumlite Rotor, which, together with the body, is made from Shimano's exclusive Ci4+ composite material. This is also why the reel feels so light in the hand. Internally, the HAGANE gear, MicroModule II, X-SHIP, InfinityDrive, InfinityXross and Silent Drive work seamlessly together to deliver smoothness and a surprising amount of power.
The Vanford is also equipped with Shimano's advanced Duracross drag, which provides outstanding and precise control when fighting hard-fighting fish. For trouble-free line management, the Anti-Twist Fin controls the pressure on the line as it passes through the line roller and onto the spool, which is particularly beneficial when fishing very light lures.

Rod - Shimano Sahara
The Sahara Spinning rod series draws inspiration from the elegant Sahara reel and combines understated elegance with undeniable functionality. Constructed with satin grey Full Carbon blanks, complemented by a subtle dark green butt section, these rods are both lightweight and responsive. By using Diaflash technology, they offer improved performance. Designed to complement Sahara spinning reels, this impressive range is available in fast and moderate-fast actions.

For those who follow the latest trends and appreciate coordinating their rods with their reels, Sahara offers an impressively affordable pair of spinning rods. Whatever your preference, each model delivers exceptional performance with premium Fuji components throughout the range. Sahara offers precise casting accuracy, quick response to your movements and a crisp feedback. Whether you are targeting pike, zander, perch, trout or chasing other predators in fresh or saltwater, there is a Sahara Spinning rod to perfectly suit your fishing interests.

Sahara Spinning is packed with carbon fiber technology that far exceeds its price tag. The Full Carbon blanks feature Diaflash construction on the butt section to minimise twisting under pressure, resulting in efficient power transfer when casting and trolling fish. Available with both EVA (fast action) and cork (moderate-fast action) handles in split grip design. The premium Fuji reel seats are TVS or VVS design depending on model.

In use, all models offer power in the butt for casting and fishing control, speed in the tip for ultra-fast hooking and finesse where sensitivity is required. These rods have it all and are remarkably affordable, allowing more anglers to experience the benefits of high-performance rods.
