When Van Staal adopted the tag line “NO LIMITATIONS,” we understood there were anglers who don’t want to be held back - those who never want to be limited in their fishing or with their tackle. Van Staal was created to fill this need – tackle designed to be used in the toughest of elements, for the biggest of fish, and never fail. Van Staal was created to take into the surf, sand and salt, for those wanting to wrestle monster striped bass. These fishermen go out into the waves, searching for the furthest rock they can wade or swim to and cast out next to the schools of cruising baitfish to reach bigger, stronger fish than they could hook closer to shore. These are the fishermen who put more into fishing, and demand more from their tackle. They have no limitations and expect that their tackle will perform the same way. Van Staal does. Only Van Staal offers a complete line of machined spinning reels and machined fly reels. Our spinning reels are cut from the finest aircraft grade 6061-T6511 aluminum, hardened stainless steel, brass and titanium to create the reel bodies, spools, handles, gears and center shafts, and sealed-up watertight so that it can be used both in, and under, saltwater. Van Staal reels hold massive line capacities and will not twist or flex even under the heaviest strain. Go ahead and use heavier braided lines to pursue tuna, marlin, tarpon and shark. Available in sizes that can handle 6# monofilament up to 100# braided line, all Van Staal spinning reels offer you the line capacity and drag lock-down you need to hold the biggest fish you've ever encountered.

Van Staal reels have the largest gears in the industry - in any type of reel! Individually cut out of hardened stainless steel, their design creates greater tooth surface contact between the main gear and the pinion. No gears work better under extreme load. Many reels feel good out of the box at the store, but are weak and rough later on. Van Staal reels are designed to work smoother and better under load – and last forever. Van Staal surf reels offer titanium line rollers specially hardened to be used with either monofilament or braided lines for however and wherever you fish so you don’t have to worry about the performance of your Van Staal reel. Van Staal does more for you when it really counts. For the past fifteen years, we’ve built every product to do just that. Machined spinning and fly reels, solid titanium pliers and sturdy wear-resistant surf bags. Every effort has been put into creating the highest quality and strength possible. We know you want that - and we hope you need it. We're counting on you making a fishing trip to a remote location and finally hooking the fish of your lifetime. We want to be there with you - with tackle that doesn't hold you back. When fishing has no limits - we offer you the tackle that can handle it. At Van Staal we believe that the tackle you selected should never limit you.

We believe there are NO LIMITATIONS.
