I posted some specs here - http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripert...nt-models.html

I have since sold the ZB and gone back to all VS's. I never had the line catch the roller and do not fish sand so the issue people have had there did not come up. I did not like the drag and that was a big factor in getting rid of the reel. It has a progresisve drag which takes some getting used to. I kept finding myself adjusting the drag throughout a fisght as it never stayed where I wanted it to. On my 2nd trip out with the reel, it seized up solid. The reel was fixed and back in action within about 5 days with a brand new clutch, but I was still not happy to know they shipped the 1st generation ZB27's with a known faulty part.
