Introducing ZeeBaaS ZX series spinning reels from the original creator of the Van Staal reels. Years of experience have come together to offer a new mile stone in the evolution of the spinning reel. Combinations of new innovative and time tested features have been incorporated into this new reel in order to withstand the harsh saltwater environment for a lifetime of hard use, with unmatched features and attributes.
The Reel: Solid, Strong, Silent, Supreme, with Scalable features and multi flexibility built into the design, this reel in effect has a wider range of use that any other reel in the market
With an incredible strength to weight ratio to handle braided line up to 80lb. This reels weight is only 16.9oz.
The components: Made from the strongest materials available, aerospace grade billet aluminum, 6AL-4V Titanium, 304/316 marine grade stainless steel.
The Gears: The high efficiency spiral bevel gears are made from hardened stainless steel, and designed using the latest Aerospace gear technology. We have consulted with a major aerospace gear manufacturer to help further develop our gears to run quite and to handle the huge stress that now can be applied to this reel. Our spiral bevel gears are up to 15% more efficient (increased power) over typical hypoid gears that all other manufactures are using.
The Drag: The ZeeBaaS reel uses (2) sealed drag plates in the spool combined with specially developed carbon fiber woven materials, resulting in super sensitive linear performance range putting out 30 lb of drag, 40 lb with optional high limit drag. No drag washers are used!
The finish: The machined aluminum frame, spool, rotor and foot are coated (Z-Coat) with a special military spec. finish altered slightly to our own specification. It is ultra hard and has five times the corrosion resistance of other high end reels in the market.
Designed, manufactured and assembled in the USA, It’s the first high caliper reel to offer you:
