The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Bill is correct. You will void the warrenty if you open the reel.

for a $600 plus reel I would leave it to the experts, Steve has 11 of them and never broke the seal once, there really is no need to its completly watertight, nothing ever goes wrong. Send it back once a year and let them service it |

Good god; Stevie V-S is a good nickname indeed...
Slip; I fished mine 3 seasons w/o a problem and never more than a rinse before I finally got smart and sent it back; new drag washers were a key this season....

Read the warranty that comes with a Van Staal. Exactly what is warrantied. Bearings? Nope, wear part. Shaft sleeve? Nope, wear part. Shaft? Nope, wear part. Gears? Nope, wear part. Drag system? Nope, wear part. So your not voiding anything.
I can bash all I want because I have two of them................

well maybe none of his leaked oil out the side like mine.
It will not void the warranty, I bought it used and their warranty is not worth the paper it's printed on. I've heard enough stories of guys sending them in for yearly check ups and getting billed large bills for upgrades to new parts. I don't need new parts. VS sent me a seal and a gasket I ordered from them a couple weeks ago and since the oil was leaking out of the supposed sealed reel, I need to maintain it because there could be salt water in there now. Also it's missing some oil now so I want to fill it up. I bought the reel and didn't use it for a year maybe, then used it twice and the oil leaked out.
Thanks maddog2020 
I'll still do that trade with you soon if you want. |

Usually guys get whacked with big bills when they buy the reel used as it's not under warranty then. I've heard a few horror stories as well, but almost always it's an old reel someone bought on eBay that has the old stainless main shaft. |
