ZeeBaaS ZX Spinning Reel Information
~ ~ Please Note that at the
beginning of 2010 ZeeBaaS Reel Manufacturing has been taken overseas.
There are only a few "Made in America" reels still left. Please call or email to
verify the manufacturing origin of a particular reel. Soon the only
ZeeBaaS Reels that will be available will be Made in China.
Designed to withstand the harsh saltwater
environment for a lifetime of hard use. ZeeBaaS ZX spinning reels are a strong
advanced design, yet engineered to offer you flexibility. Yes, it's an
ultra-high-end reel that can be
owner maintained.
ZeeBaaS ZX series
spinning reels have an incredible strength to weight ratio and can handle
any type of line. Waterproof gear case and drag. Air jet cushion spool lip
design which aids in casting distance. Hook keeper mounted to reel stem.
Surf friendly by washout holes in rotor and spool. 12 stainless steel ball
bearings plus 2 clutches.
The Components are made from the
strongest materials available, aerospace grade billet aluminum, 6AL-4V
Titanium, 304/316 marine grade stainless steel. Hardened Stainless Pinion.
316 Stainless Rotor Spindle hardened to 70 Rc. Oversize Titanium (Ti) main
shaft Ti Coated to 90 Rc and mirror polished. The high efficiency spiral bevel gears are
made from hardened stainless steel, and designed using the latest
technology. Aerospace gear manufacturers were consulted to help
develop these gears to run quiet and to handle the huge stress that can be
applied to this reel. The spiral bevel gears are up to 15% more efficient
(increased power) over typical hypoid gears that other manufactures are
using.
The Drag is a completely water proof dual plate drag
system. Adjust the drag with your
thumb by wheeling the drag knob easily for tighter or looser drag settings.
The ZeeBaaS reel uses two sealed drag plates in the spool combined with
specially developed carbon fiber woven materials, resulting in super
sensitive linear performance.
The Make-Up of the ZeeBaaS Product Line:
Basically it's
one body, two rotors, four spools, two handles and two pick-up types...
-
One body is used for all model sizes; ZX20, ZX22, ZX25 & ZX27
- Two rotors;
one for the smaller ZX20 & ZX22 size and a second for larger ZX25 & ZX27
sizes.
- Four spool sizes; two smaller for the ZX20 or ZX22 plus two larger
for the ZX25 or ZX27.
- Two-handles; Standard round handle knob and an oval power handle
that is available as an additional item.
- Line Pickup can be Single or Dual manual line roller or a Full-Bail manual system.
The Packaging Container (The first letter of suffix):
The
packaging designation will give you the same reel in your choice of
packaging. - "R"
designation after the model size number is the "Rough" pack which is a reel
in a box. Starting '09 it is the only packaging for all ZeeBaaS's
production.
- "S" designation after the model size number is
the "Supreme"
pack which contains a reel in a wood box with a spare spool and tools.
The "Supreme"
is being phases out and will be no longer available.
Because of
the lack of demand for The Supreme "S" version we do not stock this version but will
attempt to special order for you.
If you are going to do your own servicing, you most
likely already have the needed tools in your tool box.
The Pick-Up (The second letter of suffix)::
Models
vary from bail-less roller or with a manual full bail wire.
- Designation "S" for a single
manual roller, which is the traditional style.
- Designation "D" is for a dual manual rollers, which is preferred
for quicker line pickup.
- Designation
"B" is for manual full-bail wire. The bail must be manually opened
and closed!
The Finish:
The machined aluminum frame, spool, rotor, and foot are coated
with a military type Z-Coat anodized finish in a Black or Silver color. Z-Coat
is an ultra hard corrosion resistant finish.
