Shimano's High End, Light Weight Champion, Vanquish '23
Introduction: It's only been a couple of years since my first experience with Shimano Japan's Vanquish line of spinning reels, so when reports of a refresh was in the pipeline for 2023, I was hesitant. However, craving a new spinning reel for this season and not feeling the need for a Stella or Exist, Vanquish kind of hit the sweet spot, so as soon as the pre-order became available at JapanTackle, I bit the bullet. Here's a closer look at Shimano Japan's '23 Vanquish C3000SDHHG.
I got a Vanquish 2500SHG from Digitaka and it is an exceptional reel. It doesn’t have the double handle or T handle knobs. It is replacing an Exscence which was an incredible reel. Smooth, lightweight, and a joy to fish.
