If you want a reel for tuna, hold off for a 250/275- you'll need the line capacity

OK, sorry Padawan. I thought you were talking Tuna. If you are talking on your boat, the VS is overkill. I sold all of mine when I bought my boat. They are great reels for the surf but on the boat you really don't need a sealed, waterproof reel.
I use all Penn SS series for spinners on the boat and they have served me well.

Some of us are trying to get the Padawan into a Bass/Surf real he can also use for Tuna from a boat - hence moving him from buying 27 different reels to getting him to one to cover several functions - pretty PLEASE with bunker on top - don't give him any other ideas
And Padawan - if you can spend a couple extra bucks and buy one at a local shop (or forum sponsor  ) it helps the locals
