Why not just buy one VS......instead of going through a bunch of Penns.
I wouldn't call it a joke...its a pretty solid reel
Every reel has its application....if you are standing on the rocks and not getting wet then, Yeah, then maybe a VS isn't for you. But if you are in the water or wading a lot then a VS shines. Its nice to wade amongst the boulders and be able to use your rod as a walking stick and not do the "Don't Dunk the Reel" Dance when you lose your balance.
Mine must have been submerged a couple of dozen times last year...never had to open it, clean it, or have it serviced.....and it runs as good as the day I bought it.
I use a Penn 7500 when I fish the canal, I don't get wet there so its a good choice for me.
and no reel.....or rod for that matter, is "accident proof" if you take a header on the rocks something is probably going to break.....hopefully not me
