I've fished my VS for 3+ seasons (gold 250)
I fish it most nights, maybe 3/4 of the time
I get wet, alot
it gets kicked, dropped, used as a wading stick alot, (take a close look at the scrapes)
That being said it still performs like new. drag is solid, handle moves great.. and it is minimal maintenance; I rinse it off occasionally and thats it...
worth the $$? took me a bit to decide, but after 3 seasons it was worth it!!!
