This newest generation of Van Staal reel is the product of 30 years of testing and feedback from some of the world's greatest surf anglers. Van Staal has taken this feedback to make their legendary surf reels that have served as the benchmark for durability and reliability even better than before. Fully sealed and 100% submersible, these are truly the toughest spinning reels on the market. The VS X2 is as close to bulletproof as reels get for the ultimate surf fishing performance.
