It features the Shimano Lunamis S86ML Spinning 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 2500 SHG C 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 2500 SHG C 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 2500 size weighs only 165g. 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 Rod
Direct from Shimano JDM range, the new Shimano Lunamis S86ML Spinning Rod concentrates Shimano’s latest technologies: an ultimate level of lightweight and sensitivity is reached thanks to Spiral X Core blank, Carbon Monocoque handle, Ci4+ Perfection reel seat and a combination of Shimano X Guide and Fuji Titanium SiC guides.

Spiral X Core
Spiral X core uses carbon infinity tape wrapped in opposing directions up the inside and outside of the blank. The carbon infinity tape utilises Toray Nano Alloy technology to increase torsional and structural rigidity by 10-15 without adding extra weight to the blank.

Hi-Power X
In Hi-Power X construction, the blank's outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of "X" shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control by the angler.

Nano Pitch
Shimano uses a manufacturing method that wraps the moulding tape used in the process of baking blanks at an extremely fine pitch. Since the blanks are tightened with more uniform pressure, the roundness is increased, which greatly contributes to higher strength.

Carbon Monocoque
The Carbon Monocoque is an integrated hollow rear grip that is made from carbon. This advanced design removes the need for other materials to be wrapped on to the blank, is extremely lightweight, and offers excellent transfer of vibration from the blank to the hand. When compared with existing grips, the Carbon Monocoque is up to 10g lighter and increases sensitivity by up to 130%, enabling you to feel every vibration of a lure and the exact moment a fish attacks. Extensive testing has delivered excellent results producing outstanding performance, and the Carbon Monogrip design gives Shimano more options to develop much more sensitive rods for many other fishing disciplines.

CI4+ Prefection Seat XT
Impoved ergonomic and lightweight Ci4+ reel seat for the best comfort and grip during fishing action.
