Looks like a $40 increase in price, the reel is sweet and the improvements are for the better.You can see the difference in the line lay in the photo ( increase in casting distance also) but wait till you feel the drag!! smooth and linear

So I will have a mint VS Silver 200 for sale in September so I can buy one of these bad boys!

No boat, back in the suds.

I'm betting there will be a lot of the old ones in the classifieds. The two things I don't like about the VS are the line lay and the "twitchy" drag. Seems to take more pressure to get it moving than it's set for…

Looks like the finish is better too.
