Never had an issue with the line getting snagged around a roller on the VS200. The line lay in the hour glass shape is what it is. Never ever had issues with distance. The drag knob is pretty touchy but didn't bother me. What bothered me was the feeling like the knob would fall off in the surf should I loosen it.

Same with my 250... I've upped the line to heavier braid and have had little issues with it..

as far as the drag... we need drag-pulling size fish first!
