not brainwashed.
Its a purpose built tool, if youre dunking it, thats what theyre made for. Theyre purpose is not to be used on open beaches to look like a yuppy in the know, if its all scratched beat to hell submersed, theyre being used right. Theyre not a boat or open beach reel by any stretch of the imagination to me. The casting distance with that spool design is just not there.
Bet if they sent you one free we'd finally hear the end of your ph#^^^^^&g whining.
The idiot running gibbs now builds display fixtures, no clue on quality. The dude hires temp folks builds enough bodies to fill their orders for a year and then lays everyone off. How gibbs expects ANY type of quality out of that is beyond me.
No issues with vs300b 4th or 5th season

self service and I treat it like its disposible
When Im not planning on dunking the reel I stay with 7000 abu's and a avets. when I plan on going swimming like Im about to in about an hour I bring the vs.
