back in the day i used a big arse 404 or 808 in bushes with jig n pig for bass. it worked pretty good with the drag all the way down.
i believe these newer reels has a better drag and built a bit better.
dont laugh

Nothing wrong with that if it works for you and catches fish
Hard to beat a Zebco
I would take a couple of them... I have a box full of shimano reels and rods ..aint no shame in those zebcos . They all have something they are good at!!
Heck yeah!
seems like it. z03 pro with medium action rod. pulled 3, 4-5 pound lmb out of some stake beds before they tangled me up. then adjusted the thumb drag on the fly. lost the first at the bank and landed the other two. i like those 1/8 crappie mag jigs because the hooks bend really easy if it gets hung. 10lb mono. (i thought fish dont like mono lol)
caught a few scattered crappie in spawning color but its not right yet but close.
two were exactly 1" from lmb tarp.

Does it have a fixed post line grab or a bearing roller line grab? Always thought they could beat the "post" or "bar" line grab. Either way like your idea.

I'm not laughing…..I have one as well.
looks like it has 3 posts, not metal maybe ceramic or something. it does have metal gears.
fills a niche
