Description

The Van Staal VR series spinning reel, a lighter sibling of the renowned VSX, is fully sealed and robust yet designed for reduced weight. Each reel includes a manual bail and a bail-less conversion kit. The latest model boasts a thicker stainless steel main shaft, minimizing flex under load during intense fights. Waterproof sealing has been enhanced, and the drag knob enlarged for easier adjustment with gloves. A left-handed model is now available, indicated by the '1' in the model number (VR51, VR151, VR201).

  • Van Staal VR 50 is truly an engineering marvel.
Size: 50
I absolutely love this reel. It's the best investment that I made in fishing equipment! It's beautiful, well crafted and smooth. You can feel the sturdiness and quality of the reel soon as you handle it! It's like the AK 47 of fishing reels! In other words, it's reliable in battle. I get so many compliments on it and I can't wait to bring it to the Florida Keys. Well done Van Staal!!! 👏 👏 👏 👏 ... show more

  • Expensive but worth the cost
Size: 50
Top of the line reel that will last a life time. Great for inshore, Specks, Redfish, Flounder, Blue Fish, etc. Powerful Drag and looks bitchen.

  • AWESOME!!!
Size: 50
Excellent fishing reel! Tested it on a few striped bass, takes almost zero effort to reel in, compared to other fishing reels. Super smooth, excellent drag, waterproof, and full metal. Not to mention, super super light weight. Anyone who’s not quite sure of buying one, just get it! You won’t regret it! ... show more

  • Handle orientation
Size: 50
The VR series is not a reel where the orientation can be switched from left handed to right handed. Not fun to find this out after paying $500 for a reel. I called Van Staal, and they confirmed it cannot be switched. Beautiful reel though.

  • Well built and top of the line
Size: 50
This reel is an excellent saltwater performer. Super lightweight yet strong to get you through those long days of fishing. Does well surf fishing as it is designed to survive being submerged. Will be enjoying this reel for a lifetime.

  • The best real I ever owned
Size: 50
I finally bought my dream real. I have it pared with a st. croix rod. 9’ It works good with both big and small game fish. I’m on Long Island and the striped bass and blue fish are monsters this time of year.

  • If you like spend 600 bucks on cr@p go for it.
Size: VR50
My god the dumb hype around old technology. Not all their reels are made in the USA and it’s not a small company anymore… the biggest problem is the reel is advertised as a rugged and water proof/water resistant. There is almost a myth around this company with online videos of people finding reels in the ocean many years later and the reel working perfectly fine…. What a bunch of crap. I fished it 155 days last year the gears on the teeth are grinded away and the bail fail. The worst part is they won’t cover it under the warranty and it too much over 3 months for my reel to come back. They can blame covid all they want but my daiwa reel came back in 2 weeks. ... show more
