Sorry to hear about your problem with this reel. I am fishing a ZB, and I also alternate back and forth between 50# std. Power pro on the large spool (Z27), and 40# on the small spool (Z22). Fortunately, I have no such troubles; but I cannot offer any advice or remedies why this is so.
However, this Thread documenting this potential for trouble makes me reluctant to send the reel back for routine maintenance for fear they will change something. I haven't serviced it in four seasons, and I fish a lot. I have had good luck with this reel so far. My friend Numbskull probably thinks my good luck is because I have a broken down shoulder (as well as body), and cannot power cast.
