My most sorta humble apologies, I really wasn’t trying to be mean just maybe give a little advice in a non-Orwellian big-brotherish way. If I wanted to say that you are an idiot I would phrase that as “Patrick, you’re an idiot” or that you are suffering from a very bad case of Optical Rectumitis. I don’t think you are an idiot, I just think you just might be a more decent fellow than as you come across as half the time. Comprende? I was often obnoxious in my early days until I was on the receiving end of some dope slaps and reality checks. On the same page now?
Buy the VS because you know it is a heck of a reel AND because the way it performs AND if you want to pay for the name. Just do me a favor and don’t put it on a stinko rod ‘cause you are broke and busted :P . Make sure you save enough to at least build a decent rod for it…
I’m still waiting to see if they ever build that conventional that rumors have been speaking of for the last three years

… ‘course it will probably retail for $500 and I couldn’t afford to kick that kind of money for a reel.
How is that for friendly, unnasty banter :P
