Redefine the rules of the game

Looking for a set that's packed with state-of-the-art features and high-quality value? Look no further than the Shimano 23 Vanquish 4000 XG Dialuna S80MH Freshwater Combo. It features the Shimano Dialuna S80MH Medium Heavy Freshwater Spin Rod, a versatile rod that's great for handling many different situations. The combo also comes with the superbly durable and powerful Shimano 23 Vanquish 4000 XG Spinning Reel. Combined, these top-tier Shimano equipment are winners in the water.

The Reel
Built for anglers who want enhanced control of their lure's action and feel even the smallest of changes during the retrieve. Flagship of the MAGNUMLITE series, the Shimano 23 Vanquish 4000 XG Spinning Reel sets new quality standards in the ultra-lightweight and finesse fishing domain. Shimano ave gone 'Beyond Lightness' to create an ultimate light-winding mechanism with unrivalled characteristics. It's the pinnacle of finesse fishing reels and packed with the very best lightweight Shimano reel technologies including exclusive CI4+ composite. The new Vanquish is the most advanced racing-spec spinning reel Shimano has ever produced.

The first thing you'll notice is the weight of the Vanquish, or rather the lack of it. The large 4000 reel weighs only 205g. That's remarkable and you will notice it, especially when combining the smaller sizes with high-end lightweight rods designed for finesse type techniques. The second, and probably the most pleasing aspect, is just how responsive, sensitive and smooth the Vanquish is when you use it. It responds so quickly and so precisely to your every movement and input that it feels like it has a life of its own, instinctively ready to anticipate your every thought. The 4000 size reel is perfect for heavier techniques and species, including large crankbait fishing and inshore saltwater spinning where its power, control and efficiency are immediately apparent.

The Rod
The Shimano Dialuna S80MH Medium Heavy Freshwater Spin Rod thoroughly pursues performance beyond its class, evolving further like never before. It adopts a Spiral X and high power X blank structure to produce a lighter weight and increased power while maintaining strength and rigidity. With a regular fast taper, the tip section offers excellent operability while the middle and lower sections retain the power to effectively manage high-load situations when casting and fighting.

The new carbon monocoque grip provides additional weight and increased sensitivity. Thanks to this, the sharpness and responsiveness have been greatly improved, and anglers can readily detect changes in water flow and understand the swimming actions of the lure. The Dialuna has now evolved into a rod that allows anglers to enjoy high-precision applications, realising a new feeling of operation at will.

The Shimano Dialuna S80MH Medium Heavy Freshwater Spin Rod specialises in technical game and medium-range battles. This high-strength model excels at exploring shallow areas around structure. It’s suitable for casting larger lures in the 10 - 50g range and manipulating jigs up to 60g.
