It seems that if VS feels their reels are worth $600, they should have a little more confidence in their product. If they think they can only offer a 1 year warranty, maybe they're not really worth all that money.

Exactly, I think your paying to get into the VIP room. Where you can be in a small group of people that own one. You choose your color & PAY to keep your semi-unique appearance. & Keep your reputation up on the rocks. It seems the Van Staal has become more of a symbol, like a right of passage, a sign to give respect, that the owner has become an accomplished surfcaster.  |

While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing
Distant ships sailing into the mist
You were born with a snake in both of your fists while a hurricane was blowing

Remember the gear doesn't make the fisherman just like the tools don't make the mechanic, it's how you use it not what you use

Up until a few years ago I thought the same thing. Then I got one and my thoughts changed. No other reel has been able to do what this reel can do period. When wading out to a bar or rock I use the rod as a staff totally submerging the reel. This is the only reel to be able to survive so far.
Can you bury the spheros in the sand. Then dig it up and rinse it in the ocean and expect it to perform. I doubt it........... |
