Im torn in what is becoming buyers remorse... and it has nothing to do with getting used to no bail... I love that part... its the paying 50 dollars a year to service a reel that you buy because its supposed to be maintenance free... you get me?

Yeah I do but, I'll tell you this.I did that Cabo thing.Great reel but I use my rod as a wading staff.I tried to keep it clean[the Cabo] and lubed but it siezed up.I agree it does have a smooth drag,its just a great reel but not up to the task as far as constant dunking.
I equate the VS reels to anything high end.You pay premium money to own it and maintain it.Just the way it is.
