VAN STAAL VR Spinning Reel

If you are the type of angler who wades out into the surf, takes waves over your shoulders, and drops your gear directly into the sand, you already know standard spinning reels just can’t hack it. That is exactly why the Van Staal VR Series exists. This is the one of the latest evolutions of Van Staal’s legendary, bulletproof design: now lighter, smoother, and more versatile than ever before. It is built for one thing: absolute reliability in the harshest saltwater environments on earth.

Features:

• Fully machined 6061 aluminum body
• Fully sealed body and spool design for complete waterproofing
• Stainless steel spiral-bevel gear system
• Includes kit to easily switch from bailed to bail-less
