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.

Being able to fall on it, rest it on rocks, and generally beat it up is why people buy a VS.  Screw the anodizing, use it like it was intended.  |

I fell on my Van Staal 2 weeks ago. Got some nasty rock rash on the bottom but none the worse for wear.
I have used bailess 704s all my life. I fish very hard...harder than most guys on the board as I will end up at around 110 to 125 nights in the surf. I am in the water a lot and I use to clean my 704 drag washers every 2nd trip due to salt buildup. I started in April with my VS 250 and I have NOT done anything but rinse it with fresh water all year. Still performing like brand new...although it certainly looks like a used reel now.
Me, I'll never go back to Penn for the surf. The VS250 is just a superior piece of equipment.  |
No boat, back in the suds.

Try a Saltiga -- you'll never look at or touch a VS again.  |
