Shimano 26 Vanquish C2000SHG – Ultra-Light Precision & High-Speed Finesse Performance

The Shimano 26 Vanquish C2000SHG is an ultra-light flagship spinning reel designed for anglers who demand maximum sensitivity, precision, and speed in finesse fishing applications. Built on Shimano’s latest high-end lightweight platform, the Vanquish delivers exceptional rotation smoothness, reduced inertia, and outstanding responsiveness for technical fishing scenarios.

With a high-speed 5.8:1 gear ratio and rapid line recovery, this reel is engineered for efficient lure control and quick hook-setting response. Weighing only 165g, it is one of the lightest reels in its class, making it ideal for long fishing sessions where balance and sensitivity are critical.

This reel is never used, in almost mint condition with one tiny cosmetic scratch. It also includes a brand new Shimano Pitbull 12x PE 1.0 braided line (value $50, never used).
