Google up "Van Staal VM150 A Day At Montauk" there is an excellent write-up and break down of this reel with a lot of pictures.
I've used the reel but don't own it. The reel has a good feel and cast well. To me it will hold all of the 50# braid you will every need but you will need to keep it full. Meaning if you break off 50 yards you may need new line depending on the type of fishing your doing. The reel is a little heavy for the size but not to bad. The drag worked real well. I don't think i would reel in with this reel underwater but I'm sure it can handle plenty of good dunkings without a problem.
While you might be able to get a used VS200 for about a 150 more you would have trouble getiing a used bailed one at that price. So if you want a used bailed it would be more like 200 to250 more.
