Open the ZB and fix it. Simple stuff. The VS's leak as well and neither reel has a better sealing system as far as I can tell. As far as preventative maintenance, VS recommends a drop of oil on the handle and shaft seal after use to keep the seal from drying. Probably would help the ZB as well although I've not bothered with mine.

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.
