The new 2019 VANQUISH is the flagship reel of the MAGNUMLITE series. The MAGNUMLITE series is about lightweight, light rotation (low inertia) and high sensitivity. Light rotation (low spool inertia) is achieved by the unique Magnumlite Rotor design. High sensitivity is achieved by the combination of Silent Drive and Micromodule Gear II. Because of the light weight and sensitivity of this reel, it is perfect in use for light to (ultra) light fishing techniques for species like perch, trout and zander. However, the Vanquish comes in many sizes and can be used for many different techniques and species.
