2009 product guide NO LIMITATIONS
Van Staal® NO LIMITATIONS™ There are select types of fishermen who strive to push themselves and their equipment to the limit. These fishermen have passion that demands more than ordinary fishing tackle. Only the highest-performing, most durable tackle will do. These fishermen have no tolerance for a rod, reel, line or any equipment that doesn’t live up to the elements, or even worse – doesn’t live up to the fish. These are Van Staal fishermen. These are whom the brand was created for. Van Staal is made for the fishing you dream of. It is a brand unique to all other fishing brands; built for the extremes, and exotic locations. For far away places with the utmost of elements, and challenging, remarkable, ultimate fish. Only the highest-performing, most durable tackle will do. The entire line of Van Staal reels, pliers, rods and accessories are specially designed to the extreme, so you know they can not only handle – but maximize - anything you want to fish for, anywhere you want to go. No Limitations. Fully machined from the highest quality bar stock aluminum, stainless steel and titanium metals, Van Staal reels can take on anything. No other reel offers this combination of precision, power, strength, capacity, smoothness, gearing, durability and performance. If you could only have one reel for the rest of your life, make it Van Staal. “No Limitations” describes everything this product line is about. No limits on where you can go, how big a fish you can hook or the pressure you can put on it and your equipment. With Van Staal your tackle never limits you from what you want to catch or where you want to catch it. Van Staal is made to do the fishing you dream of.

RIGHT-HAND MODEL
Proven for the surf, these reels are ready for any situation. A completely sealed, water-proof body and drag allow you to fish on the beach – or in the water. Van Staal reels have a fully machined aluminum body, flyer and spool for no-flex strength; a machined stainless steel spiral-bevel main gear for long-lasting power. A machined solid titanium, titanium-nitride treated center shaft and titanium-nitride line roller allow you to fish monofilament or braided lines under the heaviest of drag loads. With huge line capacities and the ability to pick-up to 40 inches of line with a single handle turn, there is no better reel to fish tough, big fish in-shore or off-shore.

Van Staal spiral gears Huge, machined stainless steel spiral-bevel gears are used in all Van Staal spin reels. Individually cut out of hardened stainless steel, their design creates tremendous gear tooth contact between the main gear and the pinion. No gear works better under load.
