Van Staal VR II Bailed Spinning Reels
The Van Staal VR II Bailed Spinning Reels Reels are the latest evolution of Van Staal spinning reels. Fully sealed, with a lightweight 6061 aluminum construction, and a powerful waterproof drag system. Now featuring Powergrip handle and drag knob.
Built on a fully sealed, lightweight, and modular design, the Van Staal VR II Series offers premium performance and versatility for serious anglers. Available in sizes VR25 through VR200, these reels cover everything from light inshore fishing to heavy surf applications.
Each VR II Reel is precision-machined from aluminum and features a powerful drag system, smooth operation, and a waterproof body built to handle the harshest saltwater conditions.
The larger sizes (125/150/175/200) share a common body, 4.8:1 gear ratio, and interchangeable components—meaning you can easily swap parts to change sizes as needed. The smaller (25/50/75) models feature a faster 6.3:1 gear ratio and compact frame design for finesse or light tackle applications.
This modular construction allows anglers to step up or down in reel size without purchasing a completely new reel—delivering unmatched versatility and long-term value.
- Fully-machined 6061-T6 waterproof aluminum body
- Sealed and waterproof drag system
- Spiral-bevel drive gear and pinion
- MicroClick™ drag tuning accuracy
- Solid stainless steel center shaft with titanium nitride coating
- To avoid confusion between Right Hand vs Left Hand reels:
- A standard spinning reel is held by the anglers right hand and the reel is operated/reeled with the left hand. All sizes are offered in this standard configuration.
- A Left-Hand (LH) reel is held by the anglers left hand and retrieved with the Right-Hand. Van Staal offers three sizes 51, 151, 201 in these configurations. These LH Models are designated with a #1 in the last digit position.
