Shimano Vanford FA Spinning Reels

Embodying Shimano's endless pursuit of reduced weight, lower start-up inertia, and enhanced sensitivity, the Shimano Vanford FA Spinning Reels are ready to improve the angler's game on the water, fine-tuned and perfected to deliver the ultimate experience.

MGL ROTOR

At the core of this reel's design is its MGL Rotor, enhancing the angler's control to effectively employ various "start-and-stop" tactics that are used in many different fisheries, readily maximizing lure performance. Its rotor design was expertly crafted to be asymmetrical for balance, along with having less mass and physical weight to reduce the needed startup inertia for turning the handle. Shimano's proprietary Ci4+ material enables this weight reduction, requiring very little material to retain the required strength needed to withstand flex from serious drag pressures.

REFINED GEAR DESIGN

With the use of both XfinityXross and Infinity Drive Technology, the Vanford FA yields a supremely smooth and precise rotation with a highly efficient drive chain which maximizes every bit of force anglers turn the handle with. XfinityXross Technology employs a refined gear design for this elevated experience, while Infinity Drive Technology reduces the contact of the spool shaft and pinion gear to mitigate friction which would diminish overall performance.

ROBUST DRAG SYSTEM

Merging the wear resistance of and reliability of carbon drag washers with the smooth and performance of felt, Shimano created a new material for its drag system for the best of both worlds. Known as their DuraCross drag system its combination of materials are woven into a unique pattern over the standard drag washer, with 10x the durability for improved performance.

FEATURES AND TECHNOLOGY FOUND IN THE VANFORD FA SPINNING REELS:
  • Infinity Drive: Drastically reduces rotational torque, constructing a reel which can actively wind under heavy loads.
  • X-Protect: By combining a water repellant coating and a specially designed water channeling labyrinth construction, X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without adding weight or sacrificing light rotor rotation.
  • Hagane Body: A reel body with high rigidity, which virtually eliminates body flexing due to its stiffness and impact resistance. It's efficiency through strength.
  • Hagane Gearing: Cold-forged gearing for exceptional strength and durability, ensuring smooth performance from first use to long-term enjoyment.
  • MicroModule II Gear: State-of-the-art gear design makes use of smaller gear teeth and more of them, which results in a more efficient gear train and much smoother retrieve.
  • X-Ship: Eliminates friction between the spool shaft and gear which translates to better casting performance and increased gear durability.
  • Anti-Twist Fin: Enhanced line management for more effective fishing.
  • Dura Cross Drag: Utilizes cutting-edge materials woven into a unique pattern over the standard drag washer. This drag has felt like smoothness, with ten times the durability to counter blistering, high velocity runs for seasons to come.
  • InfinityXross: The load on the gear teeth themselves is spread apart horizontally on a larger surface area, creating more efficiency, mitigating potential stress points, and improving overall gear durability.
  • Silent Drive: Reduces spool vibration and noise during casting, resulting in quieter and smoother rotations with minimal play.
  • MGL Rotor: The Magnumlight Rotor is 25% lighter and allows for better balance and requires 22% less inertia, which makes it easier to start and stop the retrieve for a smoother feel.
  • G-Free Body: Reduces fatigue and enhances casting comfort.
  • Propulsion Line Management System: The most obvious component of this system is the Propulsion spool lip design, which has been proven through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations to provide longer casts while preventing backlashes and wind knots.
  • S A-RB Bearings: Undergo the same anti-corrosion process as Shimano's A-RB Bearings, with the addition of shields on both sides of the bearings to reduce the possibility of salt, dirt, or other foreign objects inhibiting the bearing's rotation.
  • Long Stroke Spool: Results in the line having to change direction while coming off the spool fewer times during a cast, resulting in less turbulence going through the guides for a smoother and longer cast.
  • One Piece Bail: A seamless design that allows the line to run unimpeded to the line roller. Reducing friction and mitigating line tangles is the name of the game.
  • Aero Wrap II: Utilizing a patented worm gear design, this two-speed oscillation system lays the line onto the spool in a X pattern that reduces line-on-line friction and helps to increase casting distance.

Same plastic quality as OEM but fit was off. Make sure correct clips are compatible
Style: 121PCS Clips with Tool for Honda/Acura, Style: 121PCS Clips with Tool for Honda/Acura
I ordered the version:121PCS Push Type Retainer Clips sold by ARKOUNIX. It says it is compatible for the following vehicles: Honda Accord Civic, CR-V, Crosstour, Fit, HR-V, Insight, Odyssey, Passport. It also fits the following Acura models: ILX, MDX, RDX, RLX. UNBOXING: Inside the storage box are 4 different style plush clips and 1 removal tool (pic1). This is a variety pack with 4 different style clips. The thinking being 1 of them have to fit your vehicle. The bad thing is that means 3 of these clip styles will not fit your vehicle and they will have no value for your vehicle. The push clips that I need for my car are the longer style #4 clips (pic3). FIT: The Arkounix brans replacements are on the left (next to the tool) and my car's OEM clips are on the right so you can see how they measure up (pics3-5). These Arkounix clips are close but not an exact match. They are about 2 mm too wide to fit in my bumpers slot. For reference, my car is a Mazda 6. I understand it's not meant to be compatible but they are very similar in picture and I thought it would fit. CONCLUSION: These clips are not sized for a universal fit. This kit has 4 distinct clip sizes that are specifically designed to fit ONLY the car models listed above. If you're hoping that these clips will fit a different make and model, make sure to check the measurements of your OEM clips first. I found out the hard way that just because the clips look similar doesn't make them compatible. A width different of just 2mm was enough to make these replacement clips incompatible with my car. I can say with certainty that these 4 sizes of Arkounix brand clips will NOT fit a Mazda 6, Pontiac G5 or Toyota Corolla because, I tried fitting these clips on both of my neighbor's cars. In conclusion, these clips are made to fit the specific Honda and Acura models listed above, ONLY.

Just get them if you think u need them!
Style: 121PCS Clips with Tool for Honda/Acura
They got just as well as the original ones in my opinion. As long as the place you're putting them in isn't damaged they fit very snug like they're supposed to. Even came with a tool to pry them off with. I already had one before I ordered these but I did appreciate that they came with the tool just in case you don't have one. The tools make the job a lot easier. I feel like I got a good deal. For just a few dollars my car looked a little better and made a little less noise since the piece I put the fastener on would rattle a bit depending on the road but not anymore! If u need these and are wondering wether you should buy them just go for it. You really don't have much to lose and they always come in handy and are good to have around. They also fit on some other cars like Nissan and probably many more too. So far they seem pretty durable but only time will tell and I will update my review if anything should happen but for now, I feel like it was money well spent. Unlike some of my other purchases!

YES THEY ARE WORTH IT !
Style: 121PCS Clips with Tool for Honda/Acura
Spot on! Used it to secure my new grill and bumper for my 97 civic. Nice quality fasteners. Super cheap price. Simple enough to use and the different sizes were clutch for what I needed.

These are quality bulbs and more reliable than halogen
Size: H7
Car that I drive is a 2008 Mazda 3 4Dr Sedan Automatic i Touring. Got so tired and fed up with felt like spending money every month or so on halogen bulbs. It was always the same old story, trip to auto zone to avoid a fix it ticket. I almost tried to buy the Sylvania brand on Amazon for cheaper but what's the use? Its STILL the SAME product. I'm done with those and never going back. The new Territory Has snapped right in without any special add on adapters, just plug and play deal. Way brighter and super easy. Love them. Can see way better at night and not have to worry about them burning out so quickly anymore. More than I can say about the Sylvania brand "Made in Germany". They're slippin
