Van Staal's second generation of VR Spinning Reels has certainly made a splash in the surf-angling world. The genius brainchild of Rob Koelewyn, these masterpieces of fishing technology come with a seal of quality that Van Staal has been renowned for since its inception.
A Testament to Van Staal's Excellence: The VR Series
Van Staal’s VR series is the epitome of durable, high-quality surf-angling equipment. Crafted with a fully sealed and submergeable body, these reels fear no weather or water condition. Every component is an artistic blend of function and design, featuring an aluminum body with a robust titanium spool shaft.
Offering uncompromised power with its waterproof drag system, the VR series still maintains an impressive lightweight character. This is achieved through strategic cut-outs on the body, rotor, and spool, along with a weightless delrin ball knob.
Second Generation Upgrades: Improving Upon Perfection
The VR series has undergone significant enhancements in its second generation. The VR50 and VR75 models now come with a thicker gear. The larger VR125 to VR200 models, meanwhile, feature a substantial stainless steel shaft upgrade, aligning with the top-tier waterproof drag of the VS X-SERIES reels.
Furthermore, the VR series has hit a sweet spot with its pricing, ranging from $509-$609, positioning these as some of the most affordable extreme fishing reels in the market.
Catering to All Anglers: Left, Right, and Everything in Between
The VR series accommodates every angler's comfort with a variety of models designed for right and left-hand retrieves. Anglers preferring the handle on the left can opt for the VR50, VR75, VR125, VR150, VR175, or VR200 models, available in black and silver. For those who favor a right-sided handle, the VR51, VR151, and VR201 models in a sleek black finish are perfect.
Delving into the Details: The Van Staal VR150
Built with aircraft-grade aluminum, the VR150 is incredibly lightweight yet robust. The precision-machined aluminum spool promises increased line capacity, making it suitable for use with braided, mono, and fluorocarbon fishing lines.
In terms of durability, the VR150 is top-notch, with a fully sealed, waterproof body and drag system. This ensures your reel stays reliable, no matter the conditions. Choose between the bail and bailless manual pickup systems according to your fishing style.
A Fusion of Power and Comfort
The VR150's drag system includes a carbon drag system with a click-drag cap, fully sealed and waterproof. Its aluminum handle features a round delrin knob, promising a comfortable grip and contributing to the overall well-balanced feel of the reel.
Superior Internals: Precision at Its Best
Inside the VR150, there's a hardened stainless steel main gear and pinion gear, adding to its robustness. The spool shaft comes with a titanium nitride coating for extra corrosion resistance, ensuring the VR150 stands firm against the most demanding of fishing conditions.
The Van Staal VR150 offers an amalgamation of top-notch design, cutting-edge technology, and meticulous engineering. With its bevy of features, innovative design, and price that doesn't break the bank, the VR150 is undoubtedly a game-changer in the world of surf angling.
