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.

Hey, I resemble that remark

Not even close to being directed at you Monty, some of these guys look at a Zee and you'd think they identified the Anti-Christ.....

Was just kidding there, I am a big VS fan, extremely happy with the VS200 I use (abuse (sand/dunk, etc)) all the time . I have never fished a zee, have held one, turned the handle (its much more smoother than a VS). Would be great if Zee Bass could get their act together.

Switched to ZeeBass in 2013 and liked it more than the VS.
Had 1 problem when I bought with the knob and they fixed it immediately.
Didn't baby it, through it around in the sand, waded out and drowned it, not one problem.
Drag was better than the VS, was smoother than the VS.
Made the switch permanent and sold the Van Staal.
