Compact, lite, super smooth drag system. Purchased 500 in Jan. put it through the test a couple of times, definitely did not disappoint. Spooled with 2.1 varivas super ester. Get one, get made. Stay safe, tight lines, see you on the water.
I just got the Shimano vanford 1000 my only complaint is I don’t like how thin the bail feels. Compared to say that Daiwa 1000 size LT series reels they’re a lot more beefier…But everything else about this reel is on point.
Right on! Yea it’s helps with it being lighter, everything is a compromise Daiwa reel maybe be heavier which effects sensitivity on the bite! I’m liking it too though! Thanks for watching GET MADE
Hi Mike, You are probably going to say yes but can the C2000 Vanford spool fit on the 1000 Vanford Reel? If you could take it off and put it on the 1000 reel, that would be great! I suspect the C2000 has a different rotor to the 1000... Cheers for a great review
Never tried or not sure why. But there’s really not much difference I haven’t investigated enough to see if they are interchangeable. Thanks for watching GET MADE
Good thing I got my stradic c4 1000. I was beginning to think I was gonna have to buy the vanford but now that you unbox and review gonna be my next reel 💯🤙
Stick with the 2000, I’ve used mine on my dragonfly so it will be ok with your elixir! Anything bigger is for other species. If your catching regular trout you’re fine!
Awesome video Mike. As you know I have the Vanford 1000 and got to break it in this past friday. I love how s light and smooth it is. I don't have anything else remotely close to compare it to. However most of my 1000 reels are lower end Shimano reels. I love then all buy this one is awesome. You get what you pay for I guess.
I know the handle is removable. But Can u tell me if the handle will fold when u loosen it half way???????? I know the stratic handle folds when its loosened. For storage and transportation purposes. Thank you
Nice reel is that the 1000? Still love my stradic and my bolistic lt 1000. I put all carbon tec drag washers in em there so smooth. Thanks for another awesome video dawg. Trout assassin
I owned the Vanford C2000S, but i didn't pay $229, i pay way below $200 ($169.99) with free shipping from Japan, i think only crazy people pay $229 ($230) ... hahaha ....

Thanks for watching Gene! I’ll do my full review here soon on it! I’ve been looking at the ester. Trying different stuff maybe!
I have 2 Vanfords and they both are the best reels i've owned.
Right on! GET MADE!
The 2000 has the long stroke spool which I don't believe cones in the 1000 and 500 I forget. Got one myself. Tight lines!
Great point! I’ll have to recheck! Thanks for watching! GET MADE!
Tightlines from Outdoor Fam! Chewy has the 1000 and we love it! I can't believe how smooth it is!
Nice! 👊🏼💯 Not sure if I’ll stick with the 2000🤷🏻♂️ Thanks for watching! GET MADE

@@TroutMadeAnglerCo i fishing with the cardif 2000 hgs on trout in de streams.smoooooot
Love my Vanford. Do you think it is too small for my 7 6 elixir? I’m not sure yet. Think maybe I should have gotten the 2500!? Thoughts.
Stick with the 2000, I’ve used mine on my dragonfly so it will be ok with your elixir! Anything bigger is for other species. If your catching regular trout you’re fine!
