Van Staal VR Spinning Reel – Sealed Body, 6061 Aluminum, Bail/Bail-Less

Meet the Van Staal VR spinning reel, a new milestone in gear designed for anglers who demand reliability under demanding conditions. The VR brings a sealed, weatherproof design into a compact, 6061 aluminum body that stays light in hand while resisting the wear of saltwater, spray, and long days on the water. Its precise machining translates into smooth operation and predictable feel during every cast and every fight.

Built to endure

Fully machined 6061 aluminum body and a fully sealed body and spool protect the internal mechanism from moisture and grit. The stainless steel spiral-bevel gear system delivers quiet, efficient power transfer, while a powerful waterproof drag system provides steady stopping power during hard runs. The reel ships with both a bail and a bail-less kit, so you can switch between preferred styles without swapping hardware.
