once you tool for production, its tough for a small business to change all the machining. the original van was a fantastic reel. still is, pretty much. but, by turning over to zebco, richard was allowed to use the liquidity to develop the ideas he developed while producing the original reel. those ideas came to fruition with the zeebaas. by not being tied to the original product, he could let those innovations flow into the new reel. sometimes its great to turn over your product line toa larger parent. zebco has the means to reduce costs of the reel by using their leverage to reduce material costs, and marketing under their established program. and it allows the 'inventor' to go on to develop his next idea.

i love the zeebaas. i'd have a quiver of 'em if i had the means. and the greatest selling feature--other than the obvious quality, is the user servicability. that rocks.

cheers.
