Van Staal Spinning Reels

If you're an angler who likes to push the limits on every outing — or blow past them altogether — then a Van Staal reel is exactly what you need. They were first developed in the early 1990s for surf fishermen who needed a reel that could weather the tough conditions they faced as they battled migrating striper. Van Staal spinning reels combine the art of design and manufacturing into a reel of uncompromising strength and simplicity. The frame, rotor and spool are machined from billet aluminum for unyielding strength — unlike other high-end reels that are made from weak die-cast aluminum and plastic.

Van Staal is now part of the Pure Fishing family of brands. However, that hasn’t changed their commitment to premium saltwater reels that make fishing more fun and productive. All Van Staal fishing reels are made in the U.S. — Tulsa, Oklahoma to be exact — supporting American workers as well as American anglers. They know professionals and recreational fishermen both deserve the best reels, and they strive to continue developing innovative reels that work.
