VStaal

They are reliable, can walk far, fish hard, dunk it, drop it in sand and basically not have to worry about the reel working, it will.
Mine is not that smooth of a reel, but I could not be more happy with it.
My opinion on the ZeeBaas is that its a crapshoot if you get a good reliable one.
Not worth the risk. Maybe some day they will be dependable, but that day is not here yet (JMHO).

No doubt, if you have a ZB and its dunkable, sand don't screw it up, reliable (over some time period), doesn't leak, doesn't change colors, you have a better reel than a Van Staal.
