Highly recommend for serious angler.
Shimano dosent disappoint smooth casting and immediate hook ups i own 5 vanfords in the 2500 and 2000. Won't fish without them. We'll worth it and the gomex handle is a equal advantage upgrade.

Your won't be disappointed.
By far, this is the best reel I have owned. I love the lightweight design and performance of the reel. It casts smoothly, and I rarely experience tangles like I do with other reels.

Great fishing reel
Dollar for dollar the best remove ever found. Smooth as silk, quiet, solid, and well built.

Great reel!
Fantastic reel. Use it for drift fishing for steelhead in early spring. Could have a better handle, but that is personal preference. The t handle is not my favorite

Lightweight and SMOOTH!
This reel was suggested by a friend that knows fishing much better than I do. It's more than I have ever spent on a reel but I think its a good investment in a unit that will be long lasting. It was easy to assemble onto my new rod and fill with line. I found it super smooth to both cast and reel. It is very lightweight yet still extremely well made and appears durable. Highly recommended!

Smooth retrieve, casts well, silky drag and very direct pick-up.
This is the best feeling reel that I own. Oozes quality and feels like it will last - like a Lexus say. But I fish it back to back regularly with a Pflueger President XT, and I have to say that it's hard to justify that price tag! The Pflueger casts as well as the Vanford (maybe even better), but its retrieve is not quite as good (does not feel as direct, nor does it pick up as fast), both have excellent drag. I don't skimp on buying gear, and might buy another, but it's tempting to put the extra bucks into a better rod - say a St Croix Avid rather than a Premier. Hmm...
