Thumbs up

My VS's have cushioned my falls at the ditch, served as wading staffs in the surf, had the dog snot beat out of them for years. I don't service them, just a quick splash with the hose. Not as shiny as they used to be, but still feel out of the box smooth. I use a few slammers on the boat, drags are good , they could never deal with the shore abuse the VS's get however.
You will never miss the bail, takes about 3 cast for your index finger to automatically know the line pickup program.

I have had the torque in my hands and it just didn't feel right.

I will be at the canal this weekend. PM me if you would like to kick the tires on the 250 or 275.
