Wrecked 706 Z's

[shadow]

I don't know NIB I have a 706 (greenie) and a vs200 and at first I almost past on the vs becuase I liked the "rughed old school feel" of my penn.well it did not take long for that vs to change my thinking I must have been crazy.much much smoother and balanced.no wabble ,no noise,I could never look back.now to answer your question I never had any failers the real is a true work horse.It seized up once and not on the beach so it was just a quick cleaning and regrease and it was fine.I fished mine for 5 or 6 years w/ only the occasional cleaning and it always worked.If I wasn't welling or able to buy a higher end real the 706 would be my first choice.

I prefer the loose feel of The Z to the tight smoothnes of a VS.
To me I can really feel whts going on on the end of my line better with the reel thats not as tight.
It's not like have not tried other reels I had a 250 an I do have a Saltiga..
If I where to purchase another VS it would be the 300.
Just for the pure crankin power..
But when I think about the dollars to dollars comparison I always come to my senses..

I feel just the opposite. When I use a sloppy reel I feel like I feel less. Probably since all I can concentrate on it the clicks and clacks...

I hear you on the dollars to dollars for the money it is the best buy,like I said true work horses.As for the "feel" to each their own I guess like I said I used to see it the other way as well.
