They'll probably whack you $200 the first time, but you'll be covered for warranty service. When you send them a reel, I understand the deal is that they don't have to get your prior approval for any repairs/upgrades that cost $200 or less.

I have 2 old style VS, before they went to the supposedly better waterproof drag, titanium shaft and new spool. One of the reasons I never send them in for service is because I want to keep my old drag, stainless steel shaft and old spools. I have a spare spool for each, and once they get their hands on my reel, I'd have 4 useless spools.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
