My experience with mine was bad. Customer service was great but the reel always had a problem. I started with a second gen black 27 that leaked from the get go. Send it in ans said it was the oring returned back to me promptly. Leaked again a couple days later. Sent back, they said the side cover was not machined properly. Returned back to me, a week later I blew a clutch, sent back to them, fixed it. Got it back again and again blew a clutch, sent it in. This time I asked for a new reel and told them I did not even want to see another black zb again. They sent me a new silver one. Another clutch and something else. So I said goodbye ZB and hello VS.
On the other hand I did like the drag on it and have heard others have not had problems. Go figure. Maybe it is just me.
I have blown up an emblem, New Saltist, and a ZB in the last 2 seasons. The Dog Fight has been my workhorse.
