New Van Staal Reels

[zimmy]

I was gonna ask if it wouldn't be better to buy a used vs150, but I was beat to it.

ya im not exactly sure what the company is trying to accomplish here making a reel thats half the price. subconciously this makes me think its half as durable and half as reliable.

But the obvious reason is ppl r tight on money and this is an economic solution to the 800+ dollar category. Again like other people have said, why not just buy a used 150 thats been time tested tough. strange move for the company methinks, but i dont have a buisness degree and i dont know enough about the thing. sweet another research project.....

The new reel is over 23oz ! Way to heavy, a good 10oz more than a VS150. I just picked up a used VS 150 for $460 without a scratch on it
