Van Staal VR Spinning Reels are the latest innovation from Van Staal, the leader in sealed reels. The VR-Series is fully sealed and fully submersible, like their proven predecessor, the X-Series. They are forged and machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, with a solid stainless steel center shaft and titanium nitride coating. These reels have a powerful, waterproof drag system with MicroClick tuning accuracy and a lightweight design, due to the cut outs in the body, rotor and spool. Another innovation with the VR-Series is the easy conversion from a bailed reel (packaged this way), to a bail-less reel, using the tool, parts and instructions included. The VR is often chosen by fishermen who want all the features of the VSX with the option to switch between a bailed reel and bail-less. They've also been popular with surfcasters looking to save a few ounces and build the lightest rig possible as most models are even lighter then the already light VSX bailed reels. Note - The Van Staal VR50 will not come with a kit to convert to bail-less.

Great price
Upon opening box a real nice comfy fit. I loved that it came with Manuel pick up bail included. Drag was a little choppy but I can live with it. Good price for this reel as it withstand abuse over time.

Back play in anti reverse bearing
I received a reel with a bit of back play in the rotor before locking up. I sent it back for another one and the second one has the same issue. I confirmed with my friends vr50 and this isn’t normal. I won’t be wasting any more time for a third attempt. I have to pay for shipping to VS warranty center now if I want a properly working reel...

Sexy and light
It’s just beautifully machined, incredibly light and pairs well with other high end light rods like g loomis. My whole setup with this reel and rod is around 13oz and can pull a 40lb striped bass easy.

Everything you would expect from a Van Staal in terms ...
Everything you would expect from a Van Staal in terms of durability and toughness but also has surprisingly smooth drag. If you're considering a Van Staal you probably know enough about them to know what to expect but this is definitely worth a look especially for the price point.

Te recomiendo que para la pesca en la playa el VR150 es el tamaño perfecto
Es un carrete de buena calidad y para la pesca en la playa puedes sumergirlo en el agua y no tendrás daño el VR150 es perfecto es el mismo tamaño que un 5000 regular si te gusta más pequeño entonces te recomiendo el VR125
