I have been using V. S.'s since the beginning and have had zero problems. Actually, I'm still using my black 200's from the original company and like them the best.

from my understanding is that the Main gear isn't made by VS it's tooled by toro I think he said ? but it's only the 300's with the problem the tolerance was wrong for the reverse leg 20 thousandths had some that were in the 50's mine being one of them, all fixed now I thought they all had something wrong with them thanks to all for your input


ps sent it out on Tuesday pm received it back on Fri @900 am

I have had several different problems, several times. But the reels always fished, or at last 99% of the time. I beat the snot out of them all the time and they dont get any respect at all, I dont even wash them off. They are in the water 99 % of the time banging on rocks ,falling with them,use my stcks for walking poles. and other reels would be trash! Might I add they never charged me a cent over the maintenance cost. Not for bearings ,shafts, or bent handles! luv em!
