i own a vs 250 and fish the **** out of it !!, i sent it in for its yearly tune up, and three weeks later i got it back all polished up and running like a tiger. they did an excellent job for $ 35 bucks!!. all the stripers and blues did a number on the reel. the vs people re-packed it with grease, re-placed the o rings and even gave me a new drag clicker( i think thats what its called?) i hear a lot of people on this board bad mouthing the reel because of the price and other garbage. i have nothing but good things to say about the company. i own many many reels and this by far is my favorite for the salt.if your passionate about fishing like i am then price means nothing . if anyone is thinking about buying a vs go ahead and enjoy, il see you in the surf with the gold on!!
dont forget to set the hook!!!!
