Hehehe, no club, just a bunch of people that see a lot of snake oil salespeople come along. I don't think you are selling snake oil because you repeatedly state you have no fishing interests business-wise. BUT, you do come across as thick about pro ZB (you are now the standard barer  ) and as anti-VS as Flaptail (the current standard barer  ). Take an out of body experience for a little bit and look in your threads on how you ballwash for ZeeBaas. There is no question on how you like them and it is understandable, they are sweet reels - for some people. But you come across as a zealot, perhaps more so than even you think. I've been on this board for a while and was on web/BBS for longer and I say this with all sincereness, the tone you take Pro ZB is like that of a fanatical salesman, no soft sell at all.

I don't really see the need to prove myself to any of you. It wouldn't matter any way!

That's just it, there is nothing to prove. Show your love for fishing, you r enjoyment. The ZeeBaas will take care of itself. You don't need to prove it's mettle by trashing it's principle competitor. Honestly, it does not do the ZeeBaas much good - as a sales tool - to be so fanatically for ZB and so flamatory against VS...
Very nice work remodeling (I don't think remodeling is the right word here), way out of my league for "Home Improvements", but very nice work

Very nice work, way out of my league, but very nice work

Bossman, shouldn't it be standard "bearer" not "barer"? Although baring the hype about VanZebco is accurate in my case and works for me!!!!!
BTW they are still in discussion about what we talked about last week at Plugfest here at work. If something breaks I will let you know, I did mention I had a guy in mind who could possibly fit the bill.

Why even try.........

Your right John! It's the craftsman in me. When I do or see something so well done, I want everyone to know that it's was created with a no compromise mentality. Only from a pure love of what someone is doing can produce the quality that is unmatched. I only push products I know are as good as the work I do. As for ZeeBaas, I'm trying to help out one of the last true 100% american built products from a man who really cares about what he offers to us.

I had 2 van staals fail on me while fishing. One while pencil popping and the other anti reverse bearing gave out w/fish on. They were repaired at no cost and the van staal customer service is top notch. No problems with my 7" vs pliers though. To me I still would not use anything else.

Editorial note on the Pol, it does look like there is a tie at this time between:
the same problem more than once with three votes
and
the same problem more than once with three votes
