Van Staal VRII Series Spinning Reels

Built for anglers who demand uncompromising performance in the harshest saltwater environments, the new Van Staal VRII Series spinning reels deliver the next evolution of lightweight strength, sealing, and precision. Launching this summer, the VRII lineup refines everything surfcasters and offshore anglers loved about the original VR platform—now with enhanced durability, smoother operation, and even greater fish-fighting confidence.

Machined from premium 6061 aluminum and engineered with a fully sealed body and spool design, the VRII Series is purpose-built to thrive in crashing surf, wind-driven sand, and relentless salt exposure. The upgraded waterproof drag system delivers consistent stopping power under heavy pressure, while the precision-cut stainless steel spiral-bevel gearing provides an incredibly smooth retrieve with maximum torque and reliability.

From casting plugs into pounding whitewater to battling trophy striped bass, tarpon, tuna, and giant jacks, the VRII is designed to perform when conditions are at their worst and the bite is at its best. Lightweight enough for all-day casting yet rugged enough for serious big-game abuse, every reel in the lineup balances refined feel with legendary Van Staal toughness.

Each VRII reel includes both bailed and bail-less capability, giving anglers the freedom to customize their setup to match their style of fishing. Improved internal components, reinforced spool shaft construction, and refined drag tuning provide a more responsive and dependable experience from the first cast to the final run.

The new VRII Series isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a statement. Precision engineered. Fully sealed. Surf-tested. Ready for summer.
