The irony of ANY Van Staal bashing thread that ever comes up is that it always seems to sell even more Van Staals.
I'll also never admit that my reels are "status symbols". I'm out there mostly at night or so far offshore you'll never know what I'm fishing anyways.
There's many spots that if I'm wading knee deep waves will be submerging the reel constantly as I fish. Or when I go to change a plug when I'm deep wading I just dump the reel in the water. No attempting to suspend the reel in the air while I change up or put a new eel on. On the rocks I only worry about my guides when I put my rod down. The reel just scrapes along the rocks, it doesn't matter.
They get the job done for the way I fish, year after year. That's all I care about when it comes to a fishing reel.
