Drag clicker? What's that?

Every year when I send mine back they put them back on. I have about a dozen in my parts box.

Absolutely love my VS200. The thing is a work horse.
The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

My 200 never had a problem for 4 years until I sent it in for cleaning and then the next two years it froze solid near the end of each season. My 150 old style had the shaft sleeve wear until it was loose, they fixed that for free. It happened again and they replaced the entire shaft with the titanium (gold) one again for free, no problems since.

I'm with Mike on the drag clicker, took mine off day one. Now everytime I send it in they replace it, I must have six of them in my odd parts box

I agree with the drag clicker and how it attracts others over when they hear it scream. usually fishing in the spots i do fish in I havent seen others out there but there are times when the clicker does come in handy.

No problems yet, this is my second season, vs 200. So far have no complaints. 1000x better then penn 6500 which i had to clean about every 10-14 days! My reel is constantly submerged and abused.
