If money isn't an issue, then go for it, great gear.
Built like submarines, high quality, tough and watertight.
Wish I could afford one or two.
Wow, buy one get one free: https://www.jandh.com/products/van-s...ing-reels.html So you can get them for $200 apiece.
That's, Buy Two (2) Get One Free.Quote:

Only thing holding me back from picking up 2 of them is that they are made in china and only have a 1yr warranty.Quote:

I wouldn't buy a SSV.
Comparable to the VS150 but way over priced is the Penn Torque, TRQII5500.
Well I may just go with the van staal them. First trip to Port Aransas isn't till July so I have time.Quote:

using some parts made it China , Manufacturers can't find it all made here and make a profit . So get your Van Staal if you have a problem
most likely its in the first year after that it shouldn't cost much to fix , I've got 46 year old Mitchell Reels still in working order
