Toby,

Those reels are too rich for my blood... but I have a few friends who fish pretty hard and they use those reels. They had them for 6 months May - Nov they both leak oil now and have lost their "smoothness" I have a friend who has been using the same VS reels (he has 4) for 8 years... send them in, pay the 36$ a year and they have lasted beautifully... only 1 problem in those 8 years... worm gear came loose... cost him a 30#er but... that's not bad for 4 reels in 8 years... I'd stick with the VS.
