Seems pretty obvious, really! 
The main thing I don't get about this Zeebaas reel besides price, is how can a reel the physical size of a VS150 be intended for "heavy surf fishing" applications?? 
To me the VS150 also is useless for this: it is strictly a back- bay schoolie/ light tackle reel to me... and you don't need a VS (submersibility) there! Truly, I feel under- gunned often even with my VS250: ex., throwing 3 oz.+ Dannys/ Darters, etc. Not only is the handle on the 150 tiny... but one must consider "cranking power" as important as any other features in a reel (esp. if you fish rocks more than sand!) 
Finally: who needs a reel impervious to cosmetic scratches & nicks enough to pay extra hundreds for that??-- I proudly look on my 10- yr. old black VS250's war- scars as proof of a thousand nights & stories & fish... in the rocky heavens of the Striper surf... & as obvious evidence that I "needed" a VS to begin with! 
Even if the Zeebaas were 50% less costly, I still wouldn't even consider one, 'till they came out with a reel at least size- equiv. to the VS250... And like the Stella, it better not weigh a lot more than my VS250 either if you want my coin! (I'm not out there casting for 45 minutes only at a clip-- more like 2- 3 hours+ per)...

Ditto here. Never felt undergunned with my VS 150b and 1084. This is in the rocks. Super light set up I can cast for hours with out fatigue.
Only felt helpless once and that was with a Calcutta 400 and a med heavy 9' Lami. I still dream about that fish. |

Who has signed up recently purely to plug the reel? The 2 guys I have seen post about it have been on here for a while.  |

Skitterpop! I changed my avatar. Sorry if it looked like I was a setting up shop to sell Zeebaas. Should I change my user name as well?
It does have a "Z" in it. |

What difference does it make where they are from.I'm sure Rob has friends all over the striper coast.he did us a nice favor by engraving the reel for John R.Nice.
The internet is loaded with guys who support their friends in their endeavors. I could start with myself an the list is long.believe me..
This is not always a bad thing..Hopefully everyone is smart enough to read between the lines.
Make their own choices..
These squables about cost's are fruitless.Like the beachmaster e-baY thread.
Not everyone is has the same financial constraints as most.
I really wish in a thread like this they would go away.
Unfortunately when a reel goes for what 10-706z's would it becomes a issue.
If I had the money I would not buy the reel as i condier it too small to balance out the gear I primarily use...
This is the type of info the thread should be about.

Agree! I thought boards were about exchange of information and discussion. Didnt know where I was from or how much I spend on gear mattered.

I think a lot of what you read can be taken with a grain of salt...most is just BS and the rest is winter blues.
