I'm using this reel 2 years. Mine is ZYZ 5/6wt 3" , perfectly fits to 4/5wt rod.
Quality is good, it's all machined, no sharp edges or nicks. It looks nice on glass or retro-looking rod. So I'm considering to buy a second one in different color .
For trout it's OK. But I wouldn't recommend it for bigger fish. The reel has click-pawl mechanism, not adjustable. Palming not really possible, as with most of closed cage designs (or, thumb can be pressed against the line inside spool)

p.s. there's bigger model ZYZ 31/2" , marked as "strong click and pawl". maybe it's better for steelhead, I didn't try

I have just acquired a 3inch ZYZ from an auction lot here in Scotland. Forgive my ignorance but what is the correct way to strip these down for cleaning and servicing? I removed the handle/spindle screw breaking the loctite bond but the handle didn't want to come of easily, I didn't want to force anything and the rest of the screws also seem to be secured with loctite. Many thanks in advance
Aya
