got 3, no problems at all. did loctite my 150 before any loosening. they really stand up imho.....got slammed into a boulder this am reel first- just another character mark.....my elbow is another story- wish IT was a vs
The seal on my 200 is shot getting oil on the shaft the reel is still fishable as of now but it does need to be fixed.I'am sure it won't be a problem as I have been very happy with there sevice.the only other problem I have had is I was geting water in my drag at one time sent it in and problem was fixed.I fish my reels hard and feel the vs to be the most reliable reel out there.I don't expect anything I own to be problem free.
