VanZebco, hahahahaha, you are all brainwashed!!!!!!!!!!! It might be built well (except for the fact they are not at all smooth) but it is in no way shape or form on God's green earth what you pay for them. That reel should go 250.00 tops and even then there are alternatives.

As for a VanZebco conventional, I just bought a Tekota yesterday that is as fine as any out there. Stripers are not very good fighters and many many many have been hauled out of Elizabeth Island rocks with $55.00 Shimano Trident 100 and 200s. One of my 100s is 18 years old and except for one ball bearing change and drag washers each year, it's still hauling them. Some people give bass way to much credit. I love them but I except the reality.

not brainwashed.

Its a purpose built tool, if youre dunking it, thats what theyre made for. Theyre purpose is not to be used on open beaches to look like a yuppy in the know, if its all scratched beat to hell submersed, theyre being used right. Theyre not a boat or open beach reel by any stretch of the imagination to me. The casting distance with that spool design is just not there.

Bet if they sent you one free we'd finally hear the end of your ph#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g whining.

The idiot running gibbs now builds display fixtures, no clue on quality. The dude hires temp folks builds enough bodies to fill their orders for a year and then lays everyone off. How gibbs expects ANY type of quality out of that is beyond me.

No issues with vs300b 4th or 5th season self service and I treat it like its disposible

When Im not planning on dunking the reel I stay with 7000 abu's and a avets. when I plan on going swimming like Im about to in about an hour I bring the vs.

flap why do you insult people because you dont like VS?

[ThrowingTimber]

because they wont send him one free

[Redsoxticket]

TT where your wading up to chest level, flaptail's wading level would just about reach his knees. that is why he doesn't have a need for a VS.

Good question?? Here's another one - why does he care what others fish??

Where and how I fish - there is no other reel that can handle the conditions. I have a scrap heap of Shimanos. What's left are boat only reels.
