Most fishermen would never need more than 150 yards on a reel,especially from the surf. The line capacity on the VS far exceeds the amount you will realistically use. Get the 250 for that setup,but if you wish to switch it around on smaller sticks get the 200.

Pat take the rod with you and try each before you buy.
But don't make your decision based on line cap. only .
Good Luck and Good Fishin!!!

I fish a 200 on my 1201 m spooled w/ 20# mono.If a bass can spool me,she can have it,don't want it back.I'd die of anxity before I could get it all back.  anyways I switch back and forth w/ a 9' so I grabbed a 200 otherwise I would of went w/ the 250 just a better fitted size for that rod. |

I think people spend too much time worrying about this. My original VS was a 250. When I was looking for a second one, I bought into the "versatility" argument and purchased a 200 for all of the reasons people have cited here. You know what? In a dark room, I can't tell you the difference between the two reels, and the only way I can tell the difference at a glance is that my 250 has the original black line roller, and the 200 has the titanium one. Tell the difference on a rod in the dark? Nope. If I had it to do all over again, I would have bought the 150 and not the 200, especially now that I use braid for 90% of my fishing.
If you can tell a half ounce difference in weight, and a 1/4" difference in spool diameter in the dark, my hat's off to ya  |
