To me the big question right now is that so few have fished it for an extended period of time.

I don't think we'll know it's "good" until 2 seasons from now after it's been in the hands of people who really fish 5+ days a week and fish hard. We'll know the real value then. Will the reel be shot and need lots of $$ of repairs or will it just need a cleaning? If it's just a cleaning then the reel is going to easily be successful despite the high price.

Future service and attention from Zeebaas itself will matter too, it's foolish to think a reel will never have issues. If parts have to be replaced, their availability and ease of repair by the owner of the reel will be another big test.

So, it could be great, it could be nightmare. Lots of questions will need to be answered. I don't know how it could possibly be considered better then anything at this point. There just needs to be some quality guinea pigs out there to give the reel a run more it's money. How much does the proprietary "Z-lube" cost...
