Super User burleytog Posted August 12, 2009 Super User Posted August 12, 2009 VBS is designed to slow the spool down as your lure looses momentum after casting. The VBS systems acts as a centrifugal break using the distribution of weight to create drag on the spool. This feature is designed to help prevent backlashes with your reel.The VBS system is located on one side of your spool (This varies depending on the retrieve orientation of the reel; example right hand retrieve or left hand retrieve) There are plastic break weights located on VBS side of the spool, these break weights are capable of being turned on or off. If you move the break weight toward the axis of the spool (The center) or into the off position the break weight will have less influence on the slowing of the spool. If you move the break weight outward or into the on position it will cause the break weights to have more influence on the slowing of the spool. You can use any number (up to six, the number of break weights also varies depending on the reel) of break weights, in any configuration to obtain an optimal spool response. http://fish.shimano.com/publish/content/global_fish/en/us/index/customer_service0/FAQ.html Information can also be found in the manual that came with the reel.

Tanker4lyfe Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 simply pop in or out for what your throwing and sound like your just starting id go with 3 out Quote
infamous512 Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 sound like your just starting id go with 3 out x 2. Quote
21farms Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 it comes from the factory set at 3 in/3 out so you shouldn't have to do anything...just adjust the spool tension knob (the knob by the handle) for the weight of your lure and start fishing. Quote
