What is the difference between the Vanford C2000S and C2000SHG?
Differences in the official table: gear ratio 5.1:1 vs 6:1; retrieve per crank 69 cm vs 81 cm; handle length 40 mm vs 45 mm. Same: weight, max drag, PE capacity (gō-m), spool, bearings.
These are differences in the printed figures only. We do not say which size is better for a given use: that is outside what a spec table shows.
Which Shimano Vanford 2000 is the lightest, and which has the most drag?
- Lightest: C2000S and C2000SHG at 155 g (heaviest: C2000SHG, 155 g).
- Highest max drag: C2000S and C2000SHG at 3 kg.
- Highest gear ratio: C2000SHG at 6:1.
How much line do the Shimano Vanford 2000 sizes hold?
Every Shimano Vanford 2000 size prints the same PE capacity: 0.6-150, 0.8-110, 1-80 (gō-m). The suffix changes the gear, not the spool.
| Line | C2000S | C2000SHG |
|---|---|---|
| PE 0.6 gō | 150 m (164 yd) | 150 m (164 yd) |
| PE 0.8 gō | 110 m (120 yd) | 110 m (120 yd) |
| PE 1 gō | 80 m (87 yd) | 80 m (87 yd) |

Prices: Japan list prices are the makers' base prices before consumption tax (Shimano "本体価格", marked 税別; Daiwa "メーカー希望本体価格", marked 税抜). US prices are Shimano North America and Daiwa USA MSRP, or for Shimano baitcasting reels the price on Shimano North America's official online store. Source dates are shown with each record (2026-10-11 or 2026-10-13). We do not convert currencies or add tax. Prices can change; check the current price on the official page.

Is there a US Vanford 2000?
Shimano North America's VANFORD A table (checked 2026-10-13) lists VFC2000HGA (size code C2000HG). It does not have the same size code as a Japanese Vanford 2000 size, so we do not treat it as the same reel.

Which spools fit the Shimano Vanford 2000 sizes?
Shimano Japan prints a Yumeya spool type for each size: C2000S S-31, S-32 and C2000SHG S-31, S-32. Yumeya spools marked with the same type are the ones Shimano lists for that size. A matching type is not a statement that stock spools swap between sizes. Spool compatibility hub
