4 - VS100g

4 - VS100b

Really don't need that many but got em.  3 VS100b's NIB/Never fished.  Golds and Silvers fished and extremely well maintained.  I color code the reels with line class, Silver being 10#,  Gold being 8# and Black being 6#.  I have 4 extra of each, and would consider getting rid of a maximum of 4 in any one of the colors.  With exception to the unused Blacks, all are on Custom Loomis or Matrix Rods, and I would consider selling them as well if the reel is sold.  Great Reels and Great Rods.  I love to fish the VS100 series, it is perfection in a light tackle reel in MHO. 

I am not interested in selling any of the reels for less than $500.00. 

PM me if you are seriously interested.

I am still learning, but they are very cool.  The spools are interchangeable with the body, more or less you can have a larger  or smaller spool as an option and it fits the same body.  Kinda the same principle as the Thompson Center Encore.  I only fish the little spool, and have fell in love with it.  The rotator is the same mechanism that drives helicoptor blades, but I am not smart enough to know what that means.  I have 3 of them and only caught fish on the one that has 10# on it, so I haven't experienced the really light drag yet.

12 van staals at 650 a piece[with tax] = 7'800$

3 zeebaas reels at 900 a piece[with tax] = 2'700$

that is a combined total of 10'500$ worth of reels alone

sweet dear god help me

you spent 10 1/2 grand on reels alone

i can see the max of 3 vanstaals for one person

2 bigones and 1 little one

but good god how much money do you have

you should just give everyone on this forum a vanstaal reel for his or her birthday

Or more hardship! I've really been wanting a small vs, I've been very pleased with my vs200. I don't have $500 right now, but maybe you will still have some after a while.

i have to agree.. i held and felt the larger zeebaas and was not impressed with the overall feel of it. the drag seemed a bit sticky. (not terrible, but not exactly what i would've expected for that price and the hype). i can't say for sure, but from first impression, i would fish a VS 250 over a larger zeebaas. please keep us poseted on how you like the smaller reels.

sorry to derail. back to top and good luck selling your van staals. heck of a price!

The 706z is the reason I don't own a larger Van Staal.  I have several 706z's but I have never heard of a 706s before.   If they are the same, thanks, but I don't need another 706z or s.

So you like the 706Z better than the VS 250 or 300 ???

I really don't  know if I like the 706 more than a VS250 or 300, I have never fished a 250 or 300, mainly because I like fishing a 706z, and don't see a need to fix what ain't broke.   I like manual reels and the 706 is as good a large manual as I have ever fished, I love mine.   Given the option to buy a new large manual spinning reel I would buy a 4 or 5 706z's instead of one VS250.   I have got some 706z's that are going on 30 years old and still operate extremely well, they are great reels.   Although I do have some concerns about the direction of the Penn Company..I am not sure the company has the leadership and vision that it did in the past.

I get your calling a 706z a coffee grinder.  I simply have never had one fail me, and I enjoy fishing them.   At one time I wished there was other size reels in the 706 model/line, that were the same as the 706z just smaller down to about a 4300 or so.   I do like well built reels and I like manual spinning reels, but the price does not influence my desire to buy or own any reel, but quality does.  

Do you know of another manual spinning reel that would be as reliable and dependable as the 706z?  If so please let me know, I would like to try one. 

Typically I don't read into anything and take everything at face value, but I would like to ask, Did I or Have I done anything to offend you?  If so I would like to make an effort to make it right.

But, in the mean time, if someone wants a very nicely kept VanStaal 100, I have some that I could sell, if one fits their need.

What are the serial numbers on the black and sliver VS100, I am looking for pre-zebco

´¯`·...¸><((((º>

Yea, a couple of those reels would square things.... but seriously Garbo, we have no problem that I'm aware of & I'm sorry if I came across like we did... You obviously know & appreciate quality equip. & I was really interested in how you ended up with such a collection & also why you liked those 'grinders' when you can obviously afford whatever you want... (Maybe I'm a little jeolous & didn't realize it, I'll ask my therapist-lol... & I have a rather extensive collection of reels myself, so I get the obsession...)

I do have some origional VanStaals or as you put it "pre-zebco", but they are all gold.   But, none of the 12 listed are "pre-zebco", including the 4 golds.
