No gen 4 coming................
Quality control measures and user friendly self service kits with upgrade materials.
Dont hold your breath waiting for VS to make any changes, quality control in China, to put it mildly, Sucks. Retooling for the upgrades and then assembling the new production would be a long way off due to stock piles of already made parts. Corporations like Zebco, the parent company of VS are unwilling to make major changes uless the issue affects sales. VS has a rabid following who therefore bite themselves in the a$$ because they accept the issues without complaint in many instances. If they recieved the high number of complaints that the grains of sand in ZB crowds gave, Vs would have upgraded the reel stem a long time ago, along with the handle attachment. Those are the 2 issues I am aware of anyway.
