I've got a couple of them; you can't beat the smooth drag (wish I could use it more). Sent my reels to Van Zebco Oklahoma this past spring for upgrades/service. Took about 40 days on two mailing trips and mucho $$$. Asked them for the o-ring kits and side plate conversion so that I could do the future service myself. They sent me the hex sideplate and all the parts but didn't anticipate that I would not have any way to remove the old sideplate (that's why I wanted the new sideplate.
My guess is that they are going to make them cheaper; we're going to have to wait and see where they will cut corners.

We all live for 7 seconds of screaming drag...
