I traded in my VS300 for this reel. It was a great size on a 10' rod, and I even used it in the spring on my 9' heavy duty Lami. It really is a sweet reel. My two gripes with the VS's were the slow turnaround on repairs and the fact that the drag was a bit small and weak for what I want. The Saltiga has a beast of a drag, and I'll soon know about there turn around on repairs.
