2026 Vanquish by Shimano


Shimano North America Fishing
is excited to introduce the Vanquish to the MagnumLite spinning reel family. This lightweight spinning reel is engineered for unmatched agility and control, representing the pinnacle of Shimano’s pursuit of featherweight performance without compromise.

The Vanquish MagnumLite spinning reel is designed for anglers who demand ultimate sensitivity, responsiveness, and start-stop precision. Vanquish excels across various presentations, techniques, and especially any scenario where micro-control makes the difference between a cast and a connection with your bait. 

“Vanquish gives anglers an immediate connection to their presentation,” said Kade Gewanter, Freshwater Marketing Manager at Shimano North America Fishing. “Its lightness and balance make it feel like an extension of the rod, while the INFINITY-series technologies deliver strength and line management.”

At the heart of Vanquish is Shimano’s INFINITY Technology suite: InfinityXross for expanded gear tooth engagement and lasting durability, InfinityDrive for powerful reeling under heavy load, and InfinityLoop for ultra-slow oscillation that maximizes casting distance and ensures exceptional line lay. The asymmetrical MGL Rotor further reduces rotational inertia for instantaneous start-stop performance, and the enhanced Duracross Drag and Anti-Twist Fin elevate line management with smooth pressure and reduced slack.

The new Vanquish slots seamlessly into Shimano’s flagship spinning lineup as the lightest MagnumLite reel ever created. Available in sizes 2500S through 4000, the 2500S model features a shallow spool arbor engineered specifically for ultra-thin braid, improving accuracy, reducing waste, and offering a lighter drag curve ideal for delicate presentations.
