I got my reels back today, I mailed them 1/5/06 and they can 2/7/06 1 month 2 days, I would think that by now it is a 5 to 6 week wait.

no, i got rid of all my van staals. i didn't like the negative cash and time annuities that these reels were turning out to be. when i owned more than one the expenses added up.

i'll evaluate other less service-intensive dunkable reels this spring/summer.

for now i'll make do with a trusty Fin-Nor Ahab 16 which I've packed with grease.
