I was hearing it when Rob Koelwyn still owned it.

Maybe the fact that people are actually paying $400 for a Daiwa Saltiga Surf conventional, which probably casts and fishes no better than a $100 Sealine SHA, is piquing Zebco's interest.

A $400-$600 conventional when you can buy a P-series Newell or an Avet for under $200---please

Back in Oct 06 my drag clicker broke off and stripped the threads....
a few weeks ago my eel snagged some seaweed and came out with no problem until i realized my reel was reeling backwards so my buddy says hit the lever to lock it, he didnt know VS has no such lever like a Penn, VS says they'll take care of it.....
also broke 2 more drag clickers in 1 week a few weeks ago also...
I still love my VS

Why do you want a drag clicker--the only useful purpose it has is to alert other people that you have a fish on. I cut mine off the second I took my VS reels out o the box

the nice thing w/ the vs is the clicker can be bent out of the way no need to cut it off this way they don't replace it and you can always bend it back in place if you want to .
