Now, I don't own a Van Staal and don't plan on buying one for a long time. But, I thought I read somewhere that you had to pay VS $50 a year to maintain your service/warranty even if you don't want your reel serviced that year. Is this true? If so, it's almost like them taxing you to own one of their reels. If it is true, IMO you have to be an idiot to buy one.
