As the name implies, we created the Vanquish reel with just one
thing in mind – total victory. And as the “form follows function”
zealots we are, it all starts with the world’s smoothest, and now
much larger and more powerful drag system. Delivering twice the
torque of our previous salt water design, the Waterworks conical
drag generates no stick-slip even at the line-snapping rates
required by blue water anglers.
To support this kind of torque, a new, much stiffer frame was
created — one that transmits extreme loads with a simple,
efficient and graceful structure.
Vanquish 12 and 10 reels are available in a “closed face” version
for those anglers who prefer only small porting on a rotating
spool.
Other innovative Vanquish features include:
An integrated foot/frame is stronger than traditional
fastened-on foot
Flush foot raises the center of mass, improving casting
ease and accuracy
machined-from-solid, modular stainless stripping arm on V12
and V10
our proprietary “Hard Alox” finish
large, ergonomic, self lubricating no-slip handle
tandem roller clutch transmits higher torque and provides
redundancy
Fully sealed, zero maintenance drag components
