Van Staal reels

Anybody here have one? What size?

Would anybody pay that much for a reel made by Zebco, which is owned by a gas grill manufacturer?

Way to much money for any kind of reel.

I always thought that Van Staal were targetting the, "Followers of Fashion" Anglers, with their way out reel designs.

Over here we call them "Tackle Tarts".

My Kingdom for a fishing reel that contains no plastic bits.

Find a mid '70's Ambassadeur 5500C. There isn't the first plastic piece in it.
