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:
