Title: International V 50VSW or 50 VISW?
Post by: rebait1 on December 14, 2025, 02:13:30 PM
I'm trying to figure out which to sell which to keep.

These are for trolling NJ. So YFT, BigEye, and of course BFT.
The weight diff is 75 ounces vs 67. I'm leaning towards keeping the lighter reel(s),

Is there much/any difference? I've heard that build quality is declining.
