spend your money on a few more moderatly priced setups. really no reason to use a vs striper fishing from a boat. not gonna really dunk it on a boat or get it sandy

FIN-NOR OS 95.

Under 150$ and huge with big drag system to 60 lbs.
And there aint no way anyone is holding 60 lbs on a spin rod stand up.
In other words its got way more power than youll need. Great reel and price especially if your just occasionally fishing for charlie.

VS is overkill and overpriced
