bunkerhead Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Just my $0.02 but the 250 is a good size reel. Best matched with a 11-12ft er IMO. The vs200 is more for 9-10ft rods. So based on the choices go with the bigger pole. And consider an 11ft rod as your next purchase. Best of luck with the reel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimlock11 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 That is a mighty investment wouldn't one try it on those rods first to see how it feels? Perhaps you find the 200 a better fit. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunkz Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I have never loved my vs like I should. I like the penn battle more.

Striper Silly Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Great purchase. You will love it for sure. I have the same reel and wouldn't replace it with any other reel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capemaymartin Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I have a few of these myself. Great reels! I am trying to match th VSB150 with a rod...Did you by any chance handle one of these reels? If so, what size rod would be recommended? I am thinking that a 10" rod would be best but wondered if anything shorter could work as a "multi use" pier/surf rod or should I purchase 2 rods for 2 purposes?
