Until the introduction of the Van Staal VM150 Spinning Reel, never before had the strength and power of a machined Van Staal Spinning Reel been offered in such a versatile and affordable package. The Van Staal VM150 Spinning Reel features interchangeable left/right hand retrieve and holds 350 yards of 30 pound braided line. The Van Staal VM150 puts out an impressive 30 pounds of drag, making it the strongest, most affordable machined spinning reel on the market today, with enough power to take on exotics. The aluminum and stainless steel construction of the VM150 creates more than enough strength to tackle big and exotic fish and the precision gears and smooth drag performance make it the perfect go-to reel from boat or from shore.
