I have no idea where my reels where actually made. It shouldn't be long before they're made in China.
I do know they cost a lot of cash.
Three reels, 2-150 and a 250 took on water and seized the bearing under the basket. A 100 stripped its gears. A 250 developed spool to basket contact at the top of the spools ocilation.

It shouldn't be long before more VS owners become ZeeBaas users, at least in the Northeast.

I've made several calls to several dealers.

Anecdotally, they can't keep ZeeBaas' on the shelves. Not that there are that many to start with.

Hope this reel performs as many say it is.
