After last year I have an even more appreciation of just how tuff that reel is. I also drilled it out removed the bail packed with lube. I used it as my go to reel when wetsuiting. Some guys here know how much I fish and I literial used rod as a walking stick out there, that means the reel was under water consideral amount of time every night I fished. Yes the VS is better suited for that type of fishin but my buget I could flex that far last year. Although it wasn't a big fish year in the surf, on the weekends I did get a bunch of large off the boat useing the same reel. I use wd40 and repack about every third trip. I will get the VS250 but that reel will always be in the truck and part of my go to gear. For the $$ you just ain't gonna find a more reliable workhoarse.
