- No it probably doesn't make you a better fisherman. However this tool is one thats worth a strong look. The Van Staal for 30 years now has been the pinnacle fishing reel for saltwater surfcasting and big offshore spinning setups. It is by far my favorite spinning reel and I hope this video helps anyone on the fence about buying one. To me it's 100% worth it but only if you are going to use it for what its designed for. I hope this review of the Van Staal Fishing Reels helps you decide if its for you! It might just make you a better fisherman lol.

i have a 300 and a 275 2003 both work great and are being serviced at saltwater edge i use them in the canal thanks for a great video i had the pleasure of meeting craig very knowledgeable guy
For fishing at canal, forget about VS. go with saltiga or Stella 14k
I'm getting a new 13-foot surf rod built by Rainshadow rods in Sequim Washington on the Olympic Peninsula. We can catch a variety of species from surf perch or ling cod to halibut with the occasional salmon thrown in from the beach or jetty. Every review I've seen on these reel raves (mostly) on them being overbuilt. As with hammers, the appropriate size of the nail will dictate the size of the hammer. Sledge hammers for finishing nails would be disastrous as would using a jewelers hammer for a railroad spike. My question is, what size would work for the aforementioned species? I'll get one shot for the price. I really don't want to waste money on $200 throw away reels after a year or two. My 30 year old freshwater reels ( Mitchell 306A and Ryobi D4) have already cried uncle the few times I've used them this year. Advice is welcomed.
time for a canal rod /canal bag video!
Video is definitely on point, I’m sure your gonna have some sick content this season 🎣 🤙🏼
Thanks brotha! Hoping to get as much as possible this season!
@@rainsong7327 thanks for coming on brotha. Yes the black i believe is powder coated and holds up EXTREMELY well. Don’t hesitate about the color.
@@jaspercoutu489 Just curious have you experienced any knuckle slap with the 250? Thanks
@@rainsong7327 nope! 150s called the knuckle buster for that reason but the 250s never touched them!
HI, great review, I just bought a VSX250SXP brand new on eBay for a really good price. it will be my first Van Staal, I subscribed to your channel. Thanks for the review.
In the long term, Van Staals will save you $$. Diawa mag seal and shimano reels must be serviced by them. Van Staal can be serviced at home as often as you like. The only thing you will want to replace is your rods.
Great review. What is your favorite set-up for pursuing sea bass, fluke, blackfish, etc. from a boat? Do you use spinning gear, and the VR 50 or something conventional? I see you link to conventional gear on your product links but this video seems to suggest spinning and the VR 50. Thanks for putting this stuff out!
I got a penn 706 right now I’ve been saving for a vs250 for a while I can’t wait to get mine ima beat the hell out of it fishing for striper, cobia and tarpon
For the money a 706 is the best spinning reel for surf fishing in my opinion .
The explanation of 50 charge sounds like it's worth it..?.still do it if ri right for me.?.need to hold one.best video info by far yet but gotta hold one
Which one would you recommend for inshore?
How big is your rod?
I dropped my VR50 from waist high while in its pouch. Picked it up, cranked it, noise detected, went straight for Ebay. Tank? I don't think so.
hello, what do you think for every day if you catch the beach, from the shore, bridge, boat, which is better vr 200 or vsx 200?
Depends on what you’re going for price range and rod.
Vs 75 good beach reel and pier
I do mostly jetty fishing and some surf fishing and was planning on getting the vr75 (faster for jigging and bucktails) or vr150 (bigger swimbaits and plugs). Is it true that you can't skish with the vr? I read some reviews saying don't skish with the vr series, not that I need to. But it would be nice to have that option/ease of mind knowing that I could. Otherwise I'm thinking about getting a Vsx150
I’ve spoken to the owner a few times when I owned a VR because it locked up with salt and didn’t work after i Skished with it but that was early in the VRs lifespan and he told me they replaced the seals and they’re good to go for anything. So there is a chance that this was the case for the first rounds of production and could be solved however I’m not 100% on that. Hope this helps!
@@jaspercoutu489 awesome thanks for the feedback
Need a gear review
Like a lure bag???
More like rods and reels
But a tackle bag video would be sick too
@@miampire I’ll see what I can do on rods and reels, tackle bags cooking up!
I found it unimaginable that a company such as Van Staal had the guts to ask for so much money for their one-advantage and one hundred-disadvantage reel. Being waterproof is the only good thing worth mentioning on these reels.
Write a letter Leo. Not comments.
I understand you patriotic sentiment for this American based company, but if you try to use a Stella, Saltiga, Exist, Certate or even a Twinpower you'll be like why the f Van Staal is still in business.
@@leo-js2tb use and own them all bud. And van stalls not made in America but thanks again for all this 👍 super useful 🤨
@@leo-js2tbAt least do your research and go make the same argument for those who pay over $3k for a gear just to hit a golf ball.
