The Zonda or the lip grips? The Zonda is a sweet, solid, great casting reel. It's spooled with 12# sniper and sitting on a 610M/R (1/4-3/4, 10-16) and that's gonna be my Keitech rod this year. It launches a two nail "Chikubi" rigged 3.8 FAT, which weighs 10g on an Owner Twistlock Light 3/0, a looong way without a hint of backlash. That's my go to bait, so I cannot wait to give it a shot.
I got the lip grips, which are very elegantly designed and should last forever, because I think I'm allergic to the slime coat on fish. If I catch a fish and then get my fingers anywhere near my eyes they'll turn red, swell, and itch like crazy for a few hours, even if I wash my hands first. It's crazy. So hopefully I can get good enough with those to avoid touching the fish at all, which is better for them anyway. Plus they'll help with getting deep hooks out and come in handy around toothy species should I encounter any. I'm not sure what their weight limit is, but they lifted one of my big 55L tackle bags no problem.
Still waters run deep.
