jim sylvester & piemma: couple of questions for both of ya:
Were you the original registered owner?
How old was your reel?
I hear lots of great stories about VS. Unfortunately I know of some that weren't quite as good of an outcome.  These aren't stories - I have facts.
thanks, |

Some old timers SWEAR by a reel that can real backwards... It can be VERY usefull at times. |

Jim I thought that as well.. maybe they just wiped it down or something... too much TLC for my taste if they did 
I'll be on the dark side of the moon tonight... tight lines |

Maddog, the only thing I can think of is the guy who owned it before me had to pay for the replacement?

Sorry - I was out fishing for once. 
I ran into several guys toting VS 150's just at about sunset - first time I have seen THAT many guys fishing them ..... lol. Must be a good spot.  Lots of bait in the water - bunch of schoolies for the most part. That any one here: Gloucester/Rockport area ~5:45pm?
Ok, I know the next person who gets this older style 150 isn't going to NEED that many parts.
Dan @ VS customer service is great - nice guy to chat with. The new gal is being trained and will replace Dan (suppose to retire w/in the next yr). I'll find out today around noon how things go. |

Was the warranty card empty on that mint one off Ebay, Brian/RIRH?
Being the original owner seems to be a good thing.
I know some people use the reels and never send in the card. |
