The Reel: S olid, S trong, S ilent, S upreme, with S calable 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 65 lb. This reels weight is only 16.5 oz.
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 up to 30 lb of 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:

Attributes
• 100 % Made in Connecticut USA.• Incredible strength to weight ratio,( can handle 65 lb braided line)
• Special military coating (ZCoat) on all exterior surfaces, developed specially for ZeeBaaS.
• This coating is extremely hard and last up to 5X the salt spray test from regular coatings used for high end reels. The color will never fade or change since it is part of the natural process.
• Air jet cushion spool lip design, aids in casting distance.
• Multi coated titanium line rollers designed for braids.
• Oversize one way clutch on the rotor and main gear. (2 clutches)
• Every component machined from solid bar stock.
• Completely water proof dual plate drag system.
• 12 stainless steel ball bearings plus 2 clutches.
• All ball bearings, clutches seals and O-ring are standard items.
• Surf friendly by washout holes in rotor and spool.
• Solid titanium spool ring mirror polished.
• Large line capacity spools.
• One piece machined main gear, integral with the shaft.
• High efficiency spiral bevel power gears, similar gear design powers the tail rotor on a black hawk helicopter. Hypoid gears are shunned in aerospace because of their inefficiency, but used by most fishing reel manufactures because they require less space.
• Hardened Stainless Pinion mounted directly through the main bearing onto the hardened stainless rotor spindle
• 316 stainless rotor spindle hardened to 70 Rc
• Oversize titanium main shaft Ti Coated to 90 Rc and mirror polished, connected to the main drag plate using the Dutchman pin principle.
