i know the wetsuiters used to use the Z's until better, sealed drags came along. there may be more drag washers in the penn conventionals, but they will still absorb the water, then they dry, leave a crust of salt, which renders the drag crap. i lost a couple good fish to 706 drags sticking because i didn't remember to change the washers after the reel was totally submerged. sure, this was my fault for not tending my gear, but i would rather not have to deal with an uncertain drag. hell, i killed a pile of VS drags, so i have my issues with them any way.
let me know how your reel works out, as i am always interested in other options. like yourself, i throw conventional the vast majority of the time when plugging. when i am not dunking the reel, i throw 7xxx class abus.
