VS thread got me thinking

[Ken_J]

my VS paid for itself already many times in less headaches

I want to think about fishing, not this and that omg i dunked my reel ridiculousness

I have low serial #, I know when it goes in first time, it will be a treat. I am prepared to deal with the $, I will be sad if its like 200$, but like I said the headaches I dont have now is worth it

casual fisherman that fish dry and wade shallow do not need reels like this

How low is the serial? I was told that if I sent mine in (very low number) I would be best trading against something new

My 250 is in the 200's and my 200 is 1400's and of corse they say that because they want you to spend money, the low numbers are bullet proof and it costs them more money to repair because they have to keep the part to repair them which are different then the new ones

I f they would trade it out even money I would do it but they only want to give about 200 bucks leaving us to pay the rest.

Same reason i never sent mine in the old ones are built great but if i ever send it in i know they will replace most of it and send me the bill which i think i should not have to pay as the reel was bought with a lifetime guarantee when i got it.
