Guilty as charged. I just got a 250 and am hoping to aquire a 150 by mid summer but I think a Van Staal is a smart purchase when you consider their durability and the time it saves you during the course of a season. I used to get a lot of grief from my girlfriend for the time I spent maintaining my other reels. The Van Staal has required no maintenance. I guess I don't think it falls into the bells and whistles category. I think of bells and wistles as things you don't need. C'mon, you know you need a Van Stall 
My main test this season will be watching you and Josh with your convential tackle this season. I don't think I need I casting setup but I know I'll be jealous!  |

Same thing drove me to a Van Stal. It's bad enough how much time I spend fishing, tying teasers/leaders.... Reel maitenance was starting to eat into "quality time" |
