With the current Japanese trend for hyper-light, 5 to 6ft light game fishing rods weighing in at under 60 grams, I couldn’t help but explore the options for a matching reel and try to answer the question, “what is the lightest spinning reel?”
shimano vanquish
Shimano Vanquish 3000SDH + Livre + Yumeya
What follows is my own, rather lame justification in purchasing yet another fine fishing reel – a JDM Shimano Vanquish C3000SDH.
Shimano Sustain & Vanquish Spinning Reels
Shimano only ever has a small selection of its tackle at the trade show but these two spinning reels were stand out for me – the £400+ Shimano Vanquish and the £250+ Shimano Sustain.
