Being a salesperson myself, it never ceases to shock me when I hear stories like that. How someone like that rep could keep a job like that beats me. I figure, if you like what you sell, you would be all the more enthusiastic about talking about fishing etc. If I had an attitude like that I wouldn't last a month. What a shame!

Toby, Hope you didnt take offense to my comment. When I said, same old VS thread you either love them or hate them. What I was thinking was that I have never seen so many people get so involved on a topic like the quality or service of VS good or bad. This topic always gets alot of attention. I am in the same situation, good reels for last 4-5 years and they are starting to have failure and maintenance issues for me personally. When you pay so much for something you kind of figure it will be problem free.

I would imagine being a VS salesperson can be tough at times.How many shows do u think these guys go to where they have to defend their product.Especially at the price the demand.its like anything else.Its a good reel.I guess i never owned one most guys who own em like em some have trouble.an there are the folks who will bash em witout ownin one.Based on the cost alone.i say if u have plenty of doe do what u like.I think I have ran into some of these salestypes before.perhaps thats why I never took the leap.I would like to see some of the saltiga's displayed the same way.Where are thier salespeople.

I sold all my VS's so I can't comment on the line.
As far as reps go, I never buy from someone who has to put something else down to make his or her product look better.
it's just bad form.

That's too bad you ran into a walking billboard Toby.
I spoke with Craig at the MSBA show this weekend and he answered my questions, did not put down any other reels, just explained why VS reels do what they do different. And he gave me a hat  Thanks again Craig  |

That raps it up 100%
In the Spring of last year I bought 9' one pice I was going to buy my first VS a 150 Silver I couldn't wait to get it.Well turns out they were changing hands and the new ownership wouldn't have the product ready till the Fall of 04.Well as always The well ran dry by then so I ended up putting on my Ahab 12A.
Funny how things work out I would of been pissed!Saving up all that $$$ getting it, then have it leaking out oil & blowing up!O that would of really Sucked!
Striperhound you hit the nail right on the head either you love-em or ya hate-em,that's all that I hear about them.

Is anyone looking for an old-style black VS 150 in good condition that has been retrofitted by Reel Ventures LLC? Let me know.  |

Ben,
How much more do you got to sell for the Saltiga? |

VS reels are overpriced garbage.
You have to be mentally ill to rep for that broken company.

VS Representative
I was at the Rivers End Open House on March 19th and spoke with the VS Rep. I found him to be friendly towards me even after I told him that I had sold my VS and thought that the reels were not worth the price. He seemed very nice and cannot understand why any of you had a problem with him. Just my .02.
