I will watch the video and try to open her up. If i cant get her running i will mail it to the shop again. Its frustrating after a 2 mile bike ride and a half mile hike to have a reel fail. A couple spots that i fish that are tough to reach i will bring the vs even though i prefer the zb just because it has never failed me yet.

Everything is better on the rocks.
