Amazing reel!

April 13, 2012

Great reel, fit and finish are superb. I use it for everything from snook, tarpon, redfish to offshore grouper and amberjack. Silky smooth drag and performs flawlessly. Mine cranked in legal grouper after legal grouper while my friends Penn Torque ate it!

Thank you for your review. We agree, it's a great reel.

Everything! Fit, finish, drag, price, features.....all great!

Wish there were more sizes! Particularly a "100" size for smaller inshore fish!

nicely priced van staal, good for most spinning applications

April 18, 2013

pity that the price went up to $449 (from the old price $399), still a welcomed option to anglers looking to try out the van staal spinners at a more affordable price performance wise this reel is pretty capable, smaller in size that a Daiwa 4500 sized reel, but pack the same amount of line, and more drag! may be consider a tad too heavy for popping usage, but for bottom bashing it's rock solid!

small overall frame and reel foot packs a punch of drag

slightly heavy cranking feels a bit stiff initially

Great reel

November 3, 2012

First of all, I received the goods in a good condition and the delivery was fast. The reel was smooth and had a good drag, that could fight any fishes in the water of singapore and malaysia.

spool line cap, drag, design.

knob, weight of the reel.

The best I have

September 27, 2012

I have more than a hundred reels, but this is by far the best spinning I have. The cleaning is easy, just put it in the dishwasher and dry it off apply what you need and it is almost new again.

Looks, speed and a great drag

I wish you would clearly post where an item is made

September 15, 2012

The reel seems sturdy and well constructed, but I would not have purchased it had I known it was manufactured in China.

Sorry, we can gladly take it back for a refund. Most reels are made in China. The manufacturers rarely post as a specification where the item is made so TackleDirect and every other tackle retailer do not post it. Van Staal is very upfront about their manufacturing in China and that reel you received is of very high quality.

seems sturdy and durable

MADE IN CHINA, if you don't start clearly marking country of manufacture I will take my business elsewhere

Just as good as a VSB

September 12, 2012

This reel is everything you would expect from a Van Staal. Solid, rigid, durable construction. It just feels quality. Very smooth and plenty of drag. Although they say it is not entirely waterproof as a VS or VSB I have seen this reel dunked repeatedly and still remain water tight.

Solid Durable Optional auto bail Water tight

A little heavy, but heavy means reliable.

Does not fit the winch on some rods, tescata. would like smaller reel as well. Not a dislike as it fills in between the 4000 and the much bigger reels. Service from america first class.
