The ZX 25 is a 2.5" @ 18.7 oz reel that is close to the 250VS. The RD stands for rough version/ dual line rollers (I think). Good size for powerful 10 and 11 ft rods. The 27 is the same reel with a larger 2.7" spool (they are interchangable with the 25...they use the same rotor). The 2.7 holds enough line for a Tuna, probably overkill for bass.

The 20 and 22 are smaller reels. Same body, but smaller rotor. Spools are 2" and 2.2 I presume. Tough reels with plenty of drag for any bass that swims. Probably best with 9 ft and light 10 ft rods. They weigh about 16oz.

The Rough series comes with one spool, and ceramic rather than
titanium line rollers. The Preme series comes in a box with both size spools and the titanium line rollers. On either reel you can get larger handle knobs if you want.

Sounds like demand has taken off and getting them right now is difficult. Some sort of upgrade/modification is also in the works to turn the reel into a reversible model that allows L or R hand use.....which is key for those of us that like reels on top of the rod.

If you are on the vineyard and want to look at one pm me, I'll be at the MVH weds.
