Engraving is a sweet option,or used to be.Iron Mike has a number of beauties with striped bass as well as mermaids on different models.Probably no longer available now that they are made overseas.There are artisans who engrave guns that would be candidates but I think it gets sealed afterwards with something they might not have.Some guy in CT did it years ago.My first vs was a 200 and I had my first initial and last name put on it,probably a good theft deterrent also.Mixing black and gold models can look like a fancy Penn too, big pimp style.
I know folks have a beef with reels made overseas,but in the case of VS,I understand the returns for failure have decreased substantially.Although all of my vs are made in USA,I feel it is now a smoother reel to crank.I did smoke one on a tuna this year that was who knows how big.But the previous day I brought a 180# home for dinner with about 27 pounds of drag.
