2023 Shimano Vanquish - LIGHTEST REEL TODAY! 

The Vanquish is a phenomenon reel. It's known for its light weight and low retrieving inertia. Probably the best reel out there for ultralight and finesse fishing. I haven't tried the Exist SF yet but its better than the regular Exist and Airity, in terms of low resistance handle turning.

I actually pick up 2 of them; a 1000SSSP and C2000S this year and almost cost me my marriage 😂. I pair up the 1000 size with the Shimano 21 Cardiff Native Special 54UL-2 rod for trout fishing and it's amazingly nice and smooth, the setup is so light i feel like holding air.

What I noticed is the oscillation of the spool is very very slow compared to other reels having worm oscillation mechanism which is good actually and gives very precise and perfect line lay.

Chewy, I absolutely love my Vanquish's. I have 5 of the 19' Versions and recently purchased the 23' model's in c2000S and c2000shg for Trout, Panfish and light Bass fishing. I love the new upgrades on the 23'. Soooo smooth, light and cast incredible, however the 19' Vanquish's were just about perfect and I noticed the start up inertia on the 19' models is actually better than the 23'. Still great reels though.

Was thinking about getting one. Not sure if current Japan earthquake will slow down shipping and business on their end.

Twin power is a power reel for heavier finesse applications the vanquish is for the lighter finesse both are great reels.

Just bought a 5000xg version. I'm wondering if the gear inside is not too tight when I'm reeling it. I mean when I'm reeling, it's kinda a 'gap' between the gear. Do you have the same experience?

You should do the comparison again with the new Twin Power FE. I believe the only difference in technology is the MGL Rotor

Check out the Plueger President XT line of reels. Size 25 only weighs 7.0ounces, while size 30 weight 7.7 ounce. You will not find a lighter reel for the price. Bass pro had them on sale for $59.00. Very comfortable cork handle. You cannot beat the build quality not the weight for the price!

Chewy good stuff brother!!! any reason why you went with the XG model instead of HG or any of the other models? I have a the new FK Stella an the reel feels off balance on the NRX + since it's heavier. I'm trying to decide on which model to get since I'm targeting white bass, walleyes, & 20inch + wipers.

What is the name of the fishing leak that is wound?😁

Hello what is different 2500s-c2500s

I have a vanquish 5000 and its super tight and my smoothest reel.

I love my 2500 with nrx plus

Question man.. what size would you go for in this reel for bass fishing? I don’t think they have a 2500HG?

i got a 2000 and replaced all the bearings to ceramic ABEC-9

Isn't the new 24 twin power going to have the same options? Just not as light

Wonder if this reel be to lite for the megabase wind buster rod

Vanquish or twinpower for trout fishing?Thanks

what line do you have on the vanquish?

Whats the line capacity on it

Is it worth the price difference vs a vanford?

European anglers are 'fortunate' i guess, the Vanquish can be bought at tackle shops everywhere around the country. The Daiwa 23Airity is just a hair lighter compared at same size.😅😊

how did u get 20% off ebay?

Great first impressions video. I agree with everything you said. Photos of this reel did not do it justice compared to seeing it in your hand. Check out my review too if you haven't. Love your videos and look forward to seeing you make more and new videos !!!!!!

great job, but plz put soft color background/mat

Can i say it looks like my 10 yearold's FX

Bangladesh price

$1000+ combo for drop shot? 😅

To much for a spinning reel, but it is nice

When you said this is a beautiful reel, I stopped watching. It looks cheap like any other 100 dollar reel. Take Airity or Stella in your hand and then you'll see what a beautiful reel feels like. Yes, it has a great rotation and is amazing piece of equipment but it definitely doesn't come close to beauty.
