I couldn't wait to get out and give this new reel a work out. I put it up against the ultimate workhorse... the Stradic Ci4.

Yes love my Vanford2500/Zodias combo while Curado 151HG combo is my casting favorite setup. Your love for fishing echos across the Atlantic hat off 🎩 for your environmental effort as well!

@OldLadyAngler 9 месяцев назад

Thank you so much. Be sure to check back later today to see the monster I caught on the Vanford 2500.

@user-jk2gp2fv1m Год назад

Love the slow-motion casts and the Vanford review. Although 2020, the Vanford is still great. Thanks !

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

Thank you. The Vanford has proven to be every bit as awesome as the Stadic was. Even better!

@BigBaitPosse Год назад

I'm thinking of buying a vanford. I have a couple of stradic 2500F reels they are awesome.

@OldLadyAngler Год назад

I love mine. I now have 4 total. Three 2500 and one 2000 (for the travel rod). Great, smooth reels. They can take saltwater too.

Thanks for your review, I bought 2 new Vanford, one of them a 500f micro reel for my crappie rod. I sold my Ci14’s on eBay. They sold for a great price. So I didn’t end up with too much more in the new ones. I did keep my Stradic FL, she’s super smooth as well.

@OldLadyAngler 3 года назад

Great choice. I will eventually get a second one for myself. I'll be having a give away when I hit 5k subs. Prize is a Vanford 2500

@thejoker395 10 месяцев назад

You find the Vanford has more play in it like up and down play

@OldLadyAngler 10 месяцев назад

not sure what you mean. do you mean unwanted movement in the spool? I don't find any play. Everything is very tight and no excess play. It has the longer spool which means more spool movement but the tolerances are very good. It's a great reel. I've been using it for over 3 years now and still love it.

@kimehunt4501 3 года назад

Great review. I asked a question on your follow up video and came across this right after. Thanks so much for responding. And I also agree the name isn't great other than that I can't wait to grab one.

@OldLadyAngler 3 года назад

Thanks Kime. I think you will love it!

@1539Mickey 4 года назад

Hi T. Glad you like the new Vanford. I think that Shimano and Diawa make the best spinning reels. The Stradic Ci4 has been one of the best and it looks like the Vanford is even better. Hope you enjoy it. Good luck, Mickey

@OldLadyAngler 4 года назад

I agree Mickey. Stradic is still a great reel but the Vanford is a tad bit greater!!

@1539Mickey 4 года назад

Hi T A good reel with a funny name. Take care and good luck, Mickey

@willperryman4559 4 года назад

I have to agree regarding the name, but I am sold on the Vanford now, and especially since there’s not a price increase and you’ve pointed out the casting distance and smoothness. Thanks again for your quick update, good lock tight lining some tarpon..😜🍀🎣🍀 Salt Strong ( saw your sticker).

@OldLadyAngler 4 года назад

Stradford! The true identity is out now.

@OldLadyAngler 4 года назад

hahahaha. I know right! That's what they should've called it

@bucktalesoutdoors7566 4 года назад

The Vanford sounds like a great reel and I like the extra casting distance you get with it. A little pricy for my budget but I am a firm believer in buying the best gear you can afford . That floating tripod is a neat addition to your filming equipment. Forgot the Hawg Trough, oh well, fishing for fun today.

@OldLadyAngler 4 года назад

I totally agree about getting the best gear you can afford. I prefer to get the super light weight stuff. Less wear and tear on me. I hope I can get the aim down with the floating tripod. I put an index mark on it so I can tell which way the camera is facing now. I'll give it another try! Thanks Don

Great review and I just discovered your channel. One question… why do you have the foam on all your rods?

@OldLadyAngler 3 года назад

It makes them float if they go overboard. I have taken them off tho. Fingers crossed that I didn't jinx myself. 😂 Thank you for watching.

@TheFishingMommy 4 года назад

It’s great to hear that you like it! You’re tempting me here with the longer casting AND saltwater ready. It’s going on my list...I think I might go for the 3000 though to get some extra line capacity over the 2500 ci4+. PS I did laugh at “will have to work on my aim” 😆

@OldLadyAngler 4 года назад

Thanks Cynthia. I think you'll like it. Noooo. ... You'll love it. Super smooth casting with little effort. Tackle Warehouse shows the next shipment coming in on 10/5. You might want to order now and it'll stay on back order. That way you'll be sure to get one. I'm sure they'll sell like hotcakes. The floating tripod sounded like a good idea.... I hope I can get the releases with it.

@OldLadyAngler 4 года назад

I went ahead and ordered my second Vanford since I already know I'm getting one. They actually took 15% off the price even though it's on the "EXCLUDED ITEMS" list. Not sure why they did it. I was only expecting my 10% military discount. Maybe you should go ahead and order yours??? That brings the price to $195 (for the 2500 size)

@TheFishingMommy 4 года назад

@@OldLadyAngler oooohhh hmm Tackle Warehouse may be running a Labor Day sale. Very tempting.

@OldLadyAngler 4 года назад

Thought I seen it all, first time I saw you getting youre order Vanford. Guess this Lady luv fishing, now I see you fishing amazing youre knowledge about this gear and youre way of doing your thing. Great Quality video footage and intro, make me want too see more 😍 Youre wunderfull even I dont know you, but been on this planet awhile and luv Stradics too. Got me 2 mouths ago the Stradic 1000 FL got this long spool too before the vanFord, little bit heavyer alu sideplates like the FK but in 1000 size its no probs and cast really great make a differens. Got my 1000/2500 ci4 too but this long stroke spool Stella feature in the vanStradic line-up upgrade makes casting pretty nice " vanFord 😂😂😂 must be ¥ translation issue 👍🇳🇱👍240

@OldLadyAngler 3 года назад

Thank you Richard. Yeah... I really do love the Stradic and the Vanford. Both are great reels. I wouldn't mind having a 1000 size too. The long spool makes casting far very easy!

@richarddeboer8934 3 года назад

Luv both even the Fl is looking optic much better. Its really the choice in weight, like lightweight gear to fish more sensitiv way. Got me baitcasing set Poison JDM Adrena BFS with Aldebaran XG BFS also superlight if you like baicasting too.

Awesom I love that reel. Great video. I really think your drag was set a bit too high or you would have landed that fish

@Uncle_Yukon 4 года назад

I like the 4000 Syncopates for the heavier lures as they fly farther and so more line capacity with the next size spool/reel. I also have another reel in the 3000 size, which is the same size as the Syncopate 4000. My main reels are the 2500 Syncopates. The Vanford and Stradic are WAY above my expense allowence

@OldLadyAngler 4 года назад

I've never used a Syncopate. If it's Shimano, I'm sure it's good quality for the price point. The only problem with getting the bigger reels is the added weight. Probably not an issue for most folks but with my dang shoulder, I feel every bit of it.

@Uncle_Yukon 4 года назад

@@OldLadyAngler Yes a Shimano. It costs $39 and has been great for a few years now. I bought more and have 2 extra 4000 and 5 extra 2500's. Using them on Dobyn's Rods. I can't seem to find a internet page for the camera floatie/handle you showed.
