· #3 Posted January 27 · Report post Zeebaas of course, very similar to Van Staal and you can fully customize them. Biggest size is comparable to the VSX200 tho. Believe the Penn Torque is also designed to be cranked underwater. 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Believe the Penn Torque is also designed to be cranked underwater. Not true. I have a ZX-22, bigger than the VS150, also have a ZB-25, bigger than a VS200. The ZX27 is comparable to the VS250, if not slightly larger. All ZB models are roughly half size larger than the VS line up. 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The old Z models packed with lithium grease were bullet proof. Maintenance involved after after every saltwater dunking session, but bullet proof when cleaned & re-lubed/packed. 4 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
