I've had both, seized and abused both, broken stuff in both and caught tons of fish on them.

I prefer the zee over the vs.

The drag on the zee is so much smoother and has a ton of stopping power.

The line lay and casting distance is better on the zee, fewer or almost zero wind knots.

I have a 27 dual roller which i prefer over the single, fast line pick up and less fumbling around.

I have seized the clutch twice on my zee, but i also only fish in a wetsuit and the reel is constantly dunked and swam with and sometimes retrieved underwater. The reel has taken some serious abuse. Took 5 months before i seized the first clutch, reel had water intrusion and was pretty shot. But that was about 100 trips worth of being wet and dunked.

I'm also hard on my gear and rarely wash anything down properly.

My 250 vs seized after 2 months of similar conditions.

The customer service from zee is amazing, one day turn around time or go there in CT.

Rob is no longer with the company.

Ron D took over and is a great stand up guy, him and Wendy are doing a great job.

They recently changed to some new seals and gaskets, and built a pressure test tank to make sure the reels leave with no issues.

I love my zee and have sold my vs reels.
