So when did they update their drags? Now I'm wondering what I have in my 200.......

To be honest your better off with the old drag versus the waterproof drag. My 200 has the older system and it's always smooth and my 150 the newer drag and it's so so.

It's not that simple. The new spools won't fit on the old shafts.
But they'll be glad to upgrade the reel by adding the new shaft as well as the spool---for $$$.  |

I managed to get a new shaft for my VS150 for free all I did was ask nicely, it was sent back to me no charge with a bag of old parts.

So I've heard too, and I've also heard there's some language in their user agreement that when you send your reel in for service, they don't have to get your approval for any repairs that run under $200. Just as a coincidence.
The shaft isn't covered by the warranty as it's considered a "normal wear and tear" component. |
