Yep, and in two years they will blame it on nobody wanting to buy expensive American made products, not on the fact that it is heavier than the VS which is heavier still on the ZB.

Interesting to see how this plays out. Don't much care for the Fast & Furious look matched to the retro SS series bail.

If they are confident it is a good solid reel and they want it to do well in the Northeast, they'll put it into the hands of some capable surf fishers.

If not
