Joe, nothing will take the abuse a VS will except a VS. Go with a smaller Penn. Like a 710 from eBay.

What MAC said.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Joe, there's nothing that's going to be wrong with any Penn 700 series Spinfisher that you can't fix. They're a very simple reel with just a few parts, and the parts are still widely available.

Bent shafts and worn bail springs are probably the two most common problems. Both are cheap repairs that you can even do yourself.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
