I picked one up this past fall and I was very happy with it. The first time using it unfortunately it came flying off my reel seat into the surf. I waited till the sun came up and found my reel about 1-1/2 hour later and I figured the reel would not ever be the same sitting in the water for that long. When I got home I gave it a good cleaning and it is fine. That makes me a believer it what a tank this reel is. As far as braid I have used Fireline with no problems but I have heard others say don't try Power Pro on a Z. Anyone use PP on a Z with good success? The only problem I ran into with the manual bail was trying to cast light lures like bombers into a strong head wind, it was difficult to get the line on the roller. Lesson learned I will throw something heavier in that situation.
