I’ve used the Vanquish for trout fishing in clear streams and it’s incredibly sensitive. The light weight makes casting easy and the reel feels balanced in my hand. Great for small fish where precision matters.
Sean Quinn –
Fished with it in a lake for bass and it held up well under load. The InfinityDrive system gives a smooth drag and the sensitivity helps detect subtle bites. Highly recommended for both finesse and light power fishing.
Julia Peake –
The reel is light and responsive. I noticed a difference in casting accuracy compared to my previous model. Still, it’s a bit on the small side for larger walleye, so I’d pair it with a medium-sized rod.

Perfect for my perch fishing trips. The Ci4+ material makes it feel almost weightless. I can feel every tiny movement in the line, which helps with catching fish in shallow water.
