Van Staal VSB X2 - Size 200 in Silver

"This wasn't my first Van Staal but I expect it will be my last in this size. That's not because I don't like the reel as I do like it very much. I expect it to be my last in this particular size because these are built to last a lifetime. I'll eventually be getting one or more in the smaller sizes. For some reason I can't even explain to myself, the 300 size in bail-less is calling me. These are special purpose reels were the main design goal is keeping all water out rather than making a silky smooth reel. If you demand a silky smooth reel, this isn't it. If you are looking for a very well built and well proven sealed reel, look no further"
