New Van Staal Reels

[chefchris401]

I got to play with one at swe that they had as a demo.

The reel is sweet, feels like all their other stuff.

They should be offering the bailless set up by spring.

I think it's probably more water tight than their saying. I want to put one to the test.

At 399 it's a great deal.

I think the demo is still there too.

I'm also curious about this reel.This falls into the doable price range for me.

I've seen the production model at Red Top, and someone posted pictures of it partially disassembled on SOL.

The drag and body are completely sealed. If you look closely at the VS website, they don't even represent their top end reels as being "waterproof". Neither does Zee Baas.

When I last talked to Craig he told me that they would be out two weeks before Christmas. I wanted to buy one for my son I guess he will have to wait for his birthday in march now

I'm interested in this reel but looking at how scratched and banged up my vs reels become in no time it's hard not to think of getting a used higher end vs at nearly the same price as a better option.
