Ive had my vs 150 for 5 seasons, never spend one dime on it! never serviced, and no issues, the drag clicker broke but who cares. Its battle scarred and beat up but still works like day one.
My 250 is 3 seasons old, one issue which was covered under warranty and taken care of. Ive fallen on it, dropped, dunk it, abused it.
My newest 275 will be beat to hell this season.
In my eyes they'e all paid for themselves already. I dont question their reliabilty or performance at all, just go and fish and beat the hell out of them.
IMO for the fishing I do, they cant be beat, nonsealed reels wont have allowed me to reach the spots I like to fish and would of been detroyed by now.
I fish ina wetsuit and my reels get dunked and sumberged alot, i occasionly rinse them down, theyve been put to the test and passed with flying colors.
