Is there a US version of the Vanquish C2000S?
No. Shimano North America's VANQUISH C table lists VQC2000SHGC, VQ2500SHGC, VQC3000SDHHGC, VQC3000XGC and VQ4000XGC, and none has the size code C2000S (checked 2026-10-05). The nearest listed US size is VQC2000SHGC; the official values differ in gear ratio (5.1:1 in Japan, 6:1 in the US) and retrieve per crank (69 cm (≈ 27.2 in) in Japan, 32 in in the US).
| Item | JDM C2000S | US VQC2000SHGC | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gear ratio | 5.1:1 | 6:1 | Differs |
| Weight | 145 g (≈ 5.1 oz) | 5.1 oz | Matches after our conversion |
| Max drag | 3 kg (≈ 6.6 lb) | 7 lb | Matches after our conversion |
| Retrieve per crank | 69 cm (≈ 27.2 in) | 32 in | Differs |
US values are Shimano North America official figures; ≈ values are our unit conversions of the Japanese figures. Gaps within rounding (0.15 oz, 1 lb, 0.6 in) count as a match.
Is the JDM Vanquish C2000S cheaper than the US VQC2000SHGC?
It depends on the exchange rate, so we cannot give a yes or no. The official figures are ¥65,300 in Japan (before consumption tax) and $529.99 in the US (US MSRP). We do not convert currencies. Dividing one by the other, the Japanese list price is the lower number when one US dollar buys more than ¥123.2. VQC2000SHGC is not the same size code as the Japanese C2000S, so this is not a like-for-like price.
The Japanese figure excludes Japan's consumption tax (the page says so); the US page shows its price without mentioning tax. Shipping, import duties and shop prices are not included.

Reels from other series whose size code carries the number 2000, closest in weight first.
