Thanks for this video. I just purchased a TFO 10’6 2-6 MH F. I will be using it as an all around setup with sometimes throwing set rigs and sometimes 2-3 oz lure. Primarily in the southern CA coast at various times of the year. The rod weight is 11.1 oz. I was considering a VR75 to keep the entire setup as light as possible me. Would you de omens this option or would you recommend another model. I’d like to have a well balanced and a versatile all around rod/reel combo.

[@123outdoorfun]

I have the same rod and I have a v r On it and then I throw whole bunker out there It is a beast

[@lamiglass1]

As a surf fisherman myself as well as someone the fishes the rocks I own several VR’s and several VS’s and my VR’s are getting just as abused fishing all the same conditions and not being babied are holding up just as well as my VS’s

[@ulyssesbullock7261]

Which would you use from the boat in salt water ? For like Halibut that weighs from 20 to 100 lbs.

Looking to purchase van staal for surf fishing, what would be recommend size here on Gulf Coast in the Mobile, AL Pensacola,FL and Ft Walton beach area?

[@amuyahamuyah8066]

[@williamwortman104]

should I buy a van steal if I'm fishing the bay in florida

[@franciscorodrigues7761]

Which model comes with right hand retrieve?

[@ilanstifel6388]

Is the vr 175 comparable to a 8 or 10k size reel?

[@jedediyahaaronyisrael7118]

Which of the VR will pair well with St. Croix Triumph Inshore 7' Heavy Fast Spinning Rod TRIS70HF. I use it for Kayak fishing and catching stripers, blues, etc.

[@Bigdsd89]

VR75

[@rsmith2658]

Would a VS100 or a VR125 pair well with a 7’ medium heavy inshore / boat rod for stripers / blues and mackerel?

[@GooseHummock]

We'd probably stick to the VS100 if its with a 7 footer! It's a perfect size. Any other questions give the shop a call and Ian can hook you up!

[@davidmaharajh4378]

Whitch size VR is closest to a 4000 size reel or 6000 size reel. Love the vid

[@GooseHummock]

Probably the 150 as it is like a decent size 5k

[@andycape8773]

The all van staal vs250 comes only Left hand??

[@thomastuorto9929]

Your interviewer should of asked , why go bailess? JEEZZZ FOLKS, let me answer that for you. Fishing a Stradic & loosing $ 60.00 of lures in one night from the bail flipping over mid cast. The Line Roller needs take apart maintenance IMHO AFTER EVERY surf trip if you ask me. =It is the only way you be sure the bearing won't seize. Never happened on my VS-200!

[@robe997]

Is the vr submersible like the vs and how does it handle the sand. Going to get one or the other but don’t fish the surf as much as I’d like to fully commit to the vs if the vr would work as well. Thanks!

[@GooseHummock]

It is fully submersible, but it definitely doesn't hold up in the sand as much as a VS. That being said if you are more from a boat the VR is the best of both worlds.

[@robe997]

@@GooseHummock thanks for the reply. Went with the vr150 loving it so far!

[@derysalazar6437]

Nice

[@syi2049]

what size vr would you suggest for a 9 footer fishing open beach for stripers blues

[@w.r8180]

I use a vr 175 also have a vs 250 but that's over kill

[@dcalhoun7152]

So I want to buy a van staal vr 50 for my boat in south jersey, and snook fishing on piers in Florida. Do you recommend this reel for me?

[@GooseHummock]

The VR50 is a great reel for the boat in south Jersey. When it comes to snook fishing we would recommend going a little heavier. The VR150 would probably be a little better as the fish down there can beat up on a VR50.

[@dcalhoun7152]

@@GooseHummock thanks man

[@nicg1697]

Definitely not vr lmao get a vsx if u have ever caught a pier snook u know they don’t play

[@peterschiang4328]

hallo. how does the 100 vs reel work with 0.23 mono for light weight spinning

[@GooseHummock]

Not very well its too light breaking strength we would recommend braid around 20-30lbs.

[@SRTKOVA]

No when u think about Bayless for surf fisbinf is wrong because it's super windy it'll blow ur line off which does happen with bailess reels the xeebass has something that combats that and is still bailess

[@kyleharvey7376]

What do you think a vsx 200 would compare to size wise to like a shimano

[@thomastuorto9929]

8000 stradic, if they make one.

[@tonysorice5142]

vs 150 best,just get a power handle vr it fits,

[@davidchau3047]

What size of rod would be good pairing with vr 50?

[@GooseHummock]

7'0 - 7'6" or maybe a super light 8 footer

[@spin2win721]

Looking to make a super durable rod and reel combo. Would the VR50 work with a 6’6” Ugly Stik GX2?

[@keenakhammanivong5430]

Why that rod 500$ reel with a 50$ rod

[@SirCapsALotTheIV]

@@keenakhammanivong5430 Fr. This is a crazy overkill reel. Definitely gotta step up your rod game

Are Van Staal's still made in china? If so, all bets are off for me.

[@yllib2012]

Unfortunately, there are not many (or any) spinning reels worth having currently made in the US. There are 3 good choices for conventional reels, Accurate, Avet and SEiGLER are all awesome reels at good price points. If you want a truly waterproof spinning reel you are going to have to overlook the made in China factor. I'm buying a VR125 or VR175 soon regardless of where it's made. If they were made in the US, I would feel better about it but be paying a lot more. Great reels can be made in China as long as QC is monitored properly. I have a deep love for Japanese made reels of all types, but my wallet isn't deep enough to buy many of them.

A Van Staal in the canal? Are you serious?

[@GooseHummock]

Yup, Very serious

[@robthorpe1591]

Not necessary to use a sealed reel in the canal. It’s also too slow. I’ll stick with my Stella and use my Van Staal in the surf.

[@peterkerns8343]

Van staal reels are nothing but an overpriced, overrated Penn 704/706. I just bought an unused vintage Penn 704 with the original box on ebay for 160 bucks. Will last a lifetime. Pissing away 700 bucks on a van staal is completely dumb.

[@Bey0ndNames]

ok boomer some people don't like buying used annoying sounding junk. go ahead and dunk that thing in water/sand and see how the sealing holds up compared to a new van staal.

[@kenth6140]

The ODM line is what I would recommend. We just got a bunch of them in stock and 3-4 different lines for different situations! We are well worth the drive or give us a call 508-255-0455! Thanks for watching
