I only us...I purchased 2 VM150's in Sept.2011. I only used the reels that season, since we were hit with hurricane Sandy 2012. When I went to use the reels this season 2013, I noticed that one of the reels was hanging up at the top of the stroke. I took the reel home and removed the spool and the handle to see if I could find what is causing the binding. What I found shocked me. The main body of the reel was rusting through, do to electrolysis, thus letting salt water into the reel compt.I have been a surf fisherman for over 40 years, and by the way still have my original reels and rods. Names will not be mentioned. I take very good care of my equipment, and never in my wildest dreams expected this.<br /> What happened next was even a bigger surprise, I contacted VAN STAAL ,and spoke to a woman in the customer service dept., She acted as if she could care less, and kinda insinuated that I bought a cheep reel, and told me that the reel is out of warranty, and their is nothing they could do for me. I explained the reel was only used one season, and could you look at it, and then make a decision. she answered, send to one of our service centers and maybe they will help me. ARE YOU KIDDING ME !!!!<br /><br /> Bottom line I will did contact the service center, who was very helpful, and sympathetic to my concerns, they told me that they will look at it, and probably have to send to the main branch, the place I called first.<br />We will see what happens.<br /><br />Very Dissatisfied CustomerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670005039743530585.post-70460876820488886302013-07-29T10:13:08.705-07:002013-07-29T10:13:08.705-07:00All VM reels are manufactured in China.

Penn Torque is a raved about reel, however I can't give any details as so for I haven't fished it, rather held it in my hands only. cheers.浩恩https://www.blogger.com/profile/08013719815682203194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670005039743530585.post-50357894592218918672012-02-03T09:38:12.224-08:002012-02-03T09:38:12.224-08:00How do you like the VM150 so far and if given the ...How do you like the VM150 so far and if given the choice between this reel and the Penn Torque 5 what would you choose? I'm looking for a new reel to use for light jigging, white seabass, and sturgeon fishing in the west coast. I have the larger Stella for the big game so any feed back would be appreciated. Are these feels suiteable for shore jigging as well? Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
