big country Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 couldnt you have just said "sick looking reel" instead of adding the other BS? -------- SURE, I coulda done that, but I wanted to point out the fact that although this company makes incredible reels, its kinda silly that everytime I turn around, another iteration of the same reel is coming out and people are happy that they dropped another $250 per reel to fix an incredible reel already.. seems silly to me.. $1200 for a reel.. the company has been selling for what 18 months(if that) and already you have to drop another $250 to fix something? they bill the reel as one that is superior to a VS and point out that there isnt a mandatory service fee, yet there is constant evolutions to a reel that you have to PAY for.. Im allowed to point that out.. Im allowed to post that, it wasnt a personal attack or rude in any way, its an observation.. but thanks for your input.. I dig the reel, Ive always just had a problem with purchasing somethign that has proved over the years with this individual to always be a work in progress.. Although he makes and thinks up SICK stuff.. When he had VS every reel was different. It took them YEARS and countless dollars to standardize the reels. now they are interchangeable, it wasnt always that way.. parts were machined for each reel individually, it was a mess.. Kudos to VS for realizing this and standardizing the reel, albeit a painstaking process, they are far better for it..

Blasko Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I think I started 3 or 4 posts with those pics and then deleted it. I figure there is enough of a bee's nest already. Besides, ZB already made it very clear that those issues are not a design flaw, but can only be remedied by a $250 upgrade. Not to mention all the other owners who fish their reels just as hard, and have none of those issues. Good luck to all of you and enjoy your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation reels. The best thing ZB did was tell me I had to pay for an "upgrade" to repair a design flaw. Of all my VS reels, not one ever had a drop of water inside when I opened them. The ZB had water in it every time. Not just a little either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishStripes Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 nice reel love the handle "It is an art performed on a four-count rhythm between ten and two o'clock" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishaholic Ivan Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 nice reel,if ZB can make it without upgrade(1,2.....)or do the upgrade for free.This reel price tag is hi anyway CATCH AND RELEASE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-bunker dunker Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 you spend that much on it.. than they make you pay more to further test an untested product. i do not understand my new snowboard hydration pack came with a faulty hose.. it had a kink in it.. 1 phone call and a new water bladder is on its way here.. no questions asked.... i dont understand why that a company has a design defect and is charging its consumers big bucks to rectify a problem that is their fault. so keep paying high dollar to test the reel.. its reassuring to know that when and if i purchase one it should be completely tested. life is short . play hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feinin007 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 everyone has diff opinions of zb but once reel is registered by orig purchaser any problems are fixed by rob at no cost ,or maybe i am just lucky . vs reels are extremly durable and don't leak,however since these china crew have taken over they "hose" you everytime on service,with a few exceptions they now too are expensive unless you buy the parts and do it yourself which is what i have resorted to after my last 413 dollar bill. pete an awesome reel, now you have something i want first wknd your headin out to that place i'll meet ya i have something to show you.

1ZXguy Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 OK: For one thing i did'nt have to do an upgread , I used my ZX27's for 2 years both in the water and out and never had one problem. I service them myself , and don't send out . I upgreaded because i like cool and new stuff ,it's my money and the cost was not a problem . So why not stop the BS... ----- PETE ----- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
