The Shimano Vanford F 5000XGF is a lightweight, high-speed spinning reel built for anglers who demand performance during long days on Great Lakes tributaries. The XG extra-fast gear ratio makes it ideal for quickly picking up slack line during float fishing presentations or burning spinners and spoons through steelhead holding runs. Its smooth drag and Shimano's HAGANE engineering make it a go-to choice for trophy steelhead, coho, and chinook salmon runs in fall and spring.
