proper way to use a Van Staal

[Pete_G]

I guess I'd have to say I'm a little surprised by some of the responses.

A very common request I get via email is to NOT assume that our customers know everything and to not ignore basics when it comes to how to videos and articles. This video, and many of the others, are in response to that.

Hopefully there won't be a issue with "how to tie a leader" because there's going to be one and more. I get that request several times a day during the summer. People want to know. Same for how to use a manual bail. Constant stream of requests. I guess being in a shop every day I'm just more aware of it.

We all started as newbie anglers at some point...

Pete, looking at it from a different point of view I feel a little bad about my comment and apologize if I offended anyone. Lord knows I have asked my share of questions. However, I admit I couldnt believe this would need explaining! I was thinking that chances are pretty good if someone is buying a VS they are not newbies!!!

It came as a combined birthday/xmas gift without input from me. At the end of the day I probably would of been happy with two new 705z if they were around. But as you can guess the mechanics were not working well and I went back to the 705z. When I get back to the states i will try it out again with the new info.

I thought about using a 706 to avoid controversy (since I know this is the only real thing causing the issue ... ), but, I can't get them anymore.

In a bailed world bailless reels are a mystery to most anglers; young or old, new or veteran. Daily requests in the shop of "how do I use a bailless reel" are proof of that.

I'll be continuing to add videos for the things anglers are nervous to ask about online. Obviously you could get pounced on for being foolish enough to ask such a thing in a forum, so SWE YouTube will pick up where forums leave off...
