Zebco Z/300 Mooching Reel

[Crab Pot]

Anyone have any thoughts or experience with the Zebco Z/300 Mooching Reel?

It's all aluminum constructed and possibly made by Daiwa and rebranded as a Zebco. It has good Google reviews but I wanted to ask the pro's up north.

Thanks,

Steve

 Take a look on ebay for a 4000GT mooching reel. If you're patient, you can get a decent one for under $50. All graphite (except the seat) and pretty much bullet proof. There's also a 2000GT, but it has much larger arbour and far less line capacity.  Can also be switched over to lefty in less than 5 minutes

That's a copy of the old diawa 175 or 275.i owne both. Its not a 2 way drag. You tighten the drag ....it gets harder to wind as well as pull line out. Look for a diawa m1 or as Ted mentioned a shimano 2000 or 4000.
