Over time I see that a lot of Van Staal owners send their reels back yearly for service.

Are they doing this because they need repairs?
Are they doing this as preventative maintenance?

Repairs, okay I can understand but if going back for annual maintenance, why?

I have three Van Staals and never had to send them back. However, as with all my reels, including my 30 year old + Penns I give them a good rinse after every fishing trip and lightly lube them once a month.
