LOL! You have much to learn about boats if you think $2400 will get you very far. |

I heard of these guys out west who jig several hundred feet down and power crank very large fish to the surface using the longer power handle ZB offers. And that every other spinning reel on the market blew apart under the same conditions. Just what I heard, that's all. |

I heard the same thing, but the guys I know are down south.....They use VS's though. All the OTHER lesser reels they tried, broke. True story.

Just posting to see if my new signature works.

I should be catching Z's, instead spending my nights, catching fish and letting them all go!

I know two things about life with 100% certitude.
#1 Life is shorter than you think.
#2 You can not take it with you!
Close friend starts is working career like we all do with not much in his pocket. Works incredibly hard and is worth about $30 mill at 60 y/o. Drops dead at 62. The money stay here, he's gone. Never got to spend it all. Buy whatever you want and if someone chides you about it tell them to screw off

gald when I went in 78 , 79 and 80 it didnt cost me 1200 for any of the activities you mentioned and then some . I think it was a 300 DM ($150 ) train ride
if you want to spend 1200 or more for a reel go ahead . would I ? Nope not even with free money from racing . but I have no problem with some that does . I prefer to buy cheaper for reasons I will keep to my self .
but flap you are crazy , at least thats what the other crazy told me .
hey ben will you let me use yours when you buy it ? |

You don't love Smuttynose, IPA. One of the best ales on earth? Oops, I shouldn't say that! Too many people might disagree!
I agree with you BM. However, I was warned, that avatar photo has too much bling POP and might cause some bashing to occur.
Your right, my signature is a little too harsh! Sorry, I'll remove some of it now.

It's not the beer that some would find offensive. It's their mascot... |

Wow...are you two gay?
On a more serious note...give me a Zee Baas if you want a field test.
I'll let the thing sit for a month then use is once. If it doesn't break on the third cast it's got the mojo for the long haul.

My biggest concern with this reel is how dedicated Rob is to the company and how long will it be around. Sure you can service it yourself, eliminating the annual VS thing, but parts do fail or need replacing over the course of time.
I remember when the future of VS was up in the air (more than once) and thinking not only can I not open this thing but where am I going to get replacement parts.
Hope everyone is having a good winter...if thats possible.

That's a very valid concern...unfortunately there's really no way around it unless you can find someone who's stockpiling parts and become their best friend.
