I was considering giving the new Van Staal double row bag a shot because it seems to have lighter tubes than the skinz bag. The tubes look less durable but I think that's too be expected with the decrease in weight.

Anyway, I called to inquire about the cost of replacing the tubes and it's $63 and change.

WTF. I've never complained about the price of my VS reels and won't but 63 bucks for some plastic inserts.

C'mon.

Figured I give you guys a heads up before purchasing one.

Score another one for the Skinz single row. That's all I'll be using.
