We build Van Staal reels without limitations, for fishermen who understand that jumping in with both feet is not nearly as fun as jumping in up to your neck. These are select fishermen that strive to push themselves, and their equipment, to abnormal levels. They have a passion that thrives in greater-than-ordinary circumstances, and that requires greater-than-ordinary tools. The entire line of Van Staal reels, rods, pliers and accessories are specially designed to the extreme, so you know they can handle any situation, anywhere you want to go, and with No Limitations. Fully-machiend from the highest quality bar stock aluminum, stainless steel and titanium metals, Van Staal reels offer the combination of precision, power, strength, capacity, smoothness and durability not found in any of the competition. The Van Staal reel you punish today, can be the same one your great grandchildren will punish. No Limitations™ describes everything about Van Staal. No limits on where you can go, how big a fish you can hook, or how much pressure you can put on it. And no limit to the confidence you can have in Van Staal. SEALED WATER-TIGHT
The Van Staal Advantage Even if you’re not in the habit of submerging your reel while fishing, regular exposure to the elements is enough to compromise the integrity of most drag systems and gears. That’s why Van Staal engineers designed water-tight seals throughout the spool, body and handle assembly of VS, VSB and C-Vex reels. This gives Van Staal anglers an advantage no other manufacturer can. The ability to fish anywhere, even underwater, without worrying about the failure of your equipment.

For experienced anglers, the challenge is not always finding and hooking big fish; it’s landing them. That’s why all Van Staal spin reels are designed with a main gear that actually helps you fight – and land – big fish. Made from machine-cut, hardened stainless steel, the main gear will never slip or strip under pressure. The Van Staal main gear is also oversized to provide more fish-fighting torque per crank of the handle, meaning you control the fight, not the fish
VSB Spin Van Staal’s surf-tested reels are now available with a traditional bail system, and like all Van Staal reels, the VSB series are sealed water-tight for use anywhere. The bail is contructed from solid nickel-titanium for superior strength and durability. And with a massive anti-reverse clutch, these reels guarantee a rock-solid hookset. Available in a wide range of sizes and line capacities, these machined reels are perfect for saltwater jigging, surface popping or casting to a huge palegic fish anywhere on the planet.
