Van Staal Vr-50 and Vr-75 B Comparison

In this video, I will be discussing the Van Staal Vr-50 and Vr-75 B new generation. For those who do not know, the black vr reels are considered the latest generation (fourth to be specific) that this company has to offer. With improvements to the gear and shaft system, I don't expect anything less from Van Staal considering their company revolves around durability. If you liked this video, please like, comment and subscribe thank you.

Hey now that some time has passed would you prefer the 50 or the 75?

[@josephcumella5671]

Not sure if you mentioned this or not but the VR 50 and 75 share the same base and rotor... essentially the same reel... the spools are interchangeable. .VR 125 and 150 share the same body and the VR 175 and 200 share the same body. HOWEVER on the 125/150 and 175/200 there are Gen 1 & 2 with the beefed up shaft. Understand that Gen 1 spools will not work on Gen 2 reels and vice versa.

[@surfcastingtheisland4914]

Yes they are basically the same body reel similar to that of a vsx 100 and 150 just a different spool size so on and so forth. The beefed up shaft and gears really harps on the improvements to already an outstanding reel and company 💯

Great pics in your opening. I used to be a hardcore like that. Now I'm old and soft. Can't deal with Montauk any more and the hard surf, wetsuits corkers and being battered by surf and waves. That was 25 yrs ago. Now I fish for river and lake stripers. Easier on my 65 yr old bones. Lol. P.s. causeway bait is still in business? Wow I used to live in Wantagh 25 years ago

[@surfcastingtheisland4914]

Yes cause way is still in business awesome shop !

[@jborselli15]

Have landed multiple fish over 30lb with the VR50 it has no problem whatsoever

[@surfcastingtheisland4914]

It is a power house of a reel. It is no different than plugging with a 3 or 4000 size reel on the boat. If im specifically targeting big fish and big fish only, then ill size up to a 150 vsx2, vsx200 or vsx 250.

[@samzilla1050]

How can you tell the difference of the gen1 vr50 and the gen 2 vr50

[@surfcastingtheisland4914]

Not entirely sure. I know the larger models it is easier to decipher since the gen 2 have a larger drag knob.

[@Poolstick00]

I should have took off the spool on both of them and compared the shafts I bet you the same,vr 50 and 75 are the same reel

[@surfcastingtheisland4914]

Yes same reel body different spool size

[@smokster0604]

Love Causeway Bait and tackle.....Soon like you said we have nice weather coming up...Fish on

[@surfcastingtheisland4914]

Absolutely tight lines 🎣💯

[@edz1890]

Do you spool vr series the opposite direction from traditional spinning reels?

[@surfcastingtheisland4914]

No same direction

[@2Cool4Ryan]

How can you tell if the reel is gen 1 or 2? It doesn’t say on the box neither the reel

[@surfcastingtheisland4914]

it will say x series or x2 series on the box

[@mitchdavis8687]

How did you not say how much slick the VR 75 holds? Lol

[@surfcastingtheisland4914]

forgot

[@karlneumann6833]

Been fishing my Vr75 since late last season into this spring with fish up to 20lbs. Absolutely love this reel, light weight, strong great drag and quality all around. Paired with a 7’ up to 8,6” rod and works grwat

[@surfcastingtheisland4914]

its a great reel. Small, compact and powerful.

[@Fishingguy00]

Good review, I have the VR50B and just ordered the VR75 silver.

[@surfcastingtheisland4914]
