Casting Zs - You may have had the worst luck with VS of anyone I have ever met. I know guys that have been fishing VS for so long that they have had them now allocated in their wills... I don't think I have met someone that has had as many problems with the VS as you have. Guys who fish really hard and abuse the crap out of reels and catch a lot of fish.
I think the ZB is a great reel (other than too small currently) and time will tell how it holds up. Biggest fish I've landed on mine so far is 24# so we'll still need to see how it stacks up on large fish.
It is hard at times reading your post on the ZeeBaas because you sound like you treat it with higher regard than your children (assuming you have some). You've sworn us up & down that you have no affiliation whatsoever with ZB, or any tackle shop or fishing entitiy, right? So why the hard sell? Why the VS Trash Talk? The ZeeBaas may be better than the Van Staal, time will tell, but we need to see the time - this reel has been on the market for about a year, it will take time....
When people say you sound like you have an agenda, it's because - about ZB - it sounds like you have an agenda... So in the words of John Winger, "Lighten Up Francis"
- at least a little....
Thanks
