ZeeBaaS Reel Service Kits, Tools, and Parts
We offer professional factory maintenance services here at ZeeBaaS to keep your reels performing the best it can. During our thorough cleaning process, we completely disassemble your reel, run it through our ultrasonic cleaners, then we hand clean and inspect each part before reassembling. Prior to lubrication, each reel is submersed in our pressure tank that simulates 35ft of depth. After this waterproof proven test is performed, we lubricate the reel and send it back to you. When we do your service, we perform the same steps as we do when building a new reel. And, it doesn’t leave our shop until it passes every test, no matter how old it is. Rest assure, we go above a beyond what any other manufacturer will do.
For those who are mechanically inclined and want to service their own reels, we do offer a variety of self-maintenance kits.
Made from solid titanium. Made to take the punishment.
Now hand polished, hand heat treated and hardened titanium line rollers are available. Each one is unique — make one uniquely yours!
If you’re out for the big game that puts grooves in your traditional line roller you might want to upgrade to titanium or have us do it for you on your next service. All of our line rollers come with the line roller bearing, seal, and threaded shaft. (pickup arm not included)

These springs sit within the Drag Spring Retainer (21015). They provide the compressional forces within the drag system. One end of the spring rests inside the small detents which can be seen when looking inside the Drag Spring Retainer. The other end of the spring sits within the accompanying detent in the Drag Knob Nut (21024).
Please note- We recommend our Z-Lube for installation of the springs between the housing and nut. This holds the springs in place, as well as providing extra corrosion resistance on the springs if ever needed.
This custom-machined brass nut sits within the Drag Spring Retainer (21015) and has detents for the 5 Drag Springs (21113). The threads on the interior of the nut connect the Drag Knob itself to the Main Shaft.
Please note- There are left hand crank and right hand crank varieties for this part. When ordering, please be sure that you order the correct one. If you have trouble deciding which you need, please reach out to us and we will assist.
Sold as a pack of 2.
These bearings sit within the drag stack to provide a smooth, resistance-free interaction with the Drag Spring Retainer (21015).
Please note- two bearings are required per spool. If you wish to order just one, you may call to order. ($9 each)
This aluminum spacer sits between the 2 Spool Bearings (21105) in the drag stack found within your spool body.
If you finally have to replace your carbon fiber drag disk that is installed between your spool skirt and your spool body, great job landing some big fish. ZeeBaaS Drag Disks are made strong and last long. We use carbon fiber that is made in America, tested, proven, and trusted. We won't settle for less, why should you?
Please note- There are 4 different sizes of the large drag disk. Please ensure you purchase the correct size for your reel. The "small upper" disk fits all sizes, as the upper drag stack is the same for each size reel.
This bearing sits between the top of the large drag plate and the spool body, allowing for movement between the two. This bearing is vital for smooth drag payout.
Please note- On older drag systems with hard-coated drag plates, this bearing may be hard to remove. If this is the case for you, please call us and we can assist.
This is sold as a complete assembly. Includes Large Clicker Disk (21018-1), 3 Line Roller Pins (21147) and 2 Drag Plate Dowels (21143).
This aluminum plate is the primary generator of drag in your Z. Our superior and unique drag system uses the largest drag plate of any spinning reel on the market. This creates a large amount of pressure due to the large surface area, while also allowing for extra-smooth drag payout.
Please note- When purchasing a new Drag Plate, ensure you purchase the correct size for your reel. If you see scratches on the bottom of the plate, this is due to our hand-filing process to ensure proper dimensions of the plate.
This small drag plate is machined from stainless steel, passivated, and is a vital part of your drag stack. It applies the pressure from the upper drag stack, being compressed by the turning of the drag knob. It fits all sizes of ZeeBaaS reels.
Comes in a pack of 3.
These are the 3 passivated screws required to easily secure your rotor to the shaft guide. These should be hand tightened but not heavily torqued.
Please not- #1 Phillips head driver required - not included.
This is our naval brass shaft guide that fits all sizes of ZeeBaaS Reels. This guide holds the Main Shaft in place and holds the rotor onto the reel.
Please note- This is an updated design. Reels built before 2012 may have a different style of Shaft Guide where the associated sleeve was built in. If this is the case, you may need to purchase a Shaft Guide Sleeve (21012-1) with this. Updating the older design can achieve a smoother retrieve. If you have questions regarding this, please call us and we will assist.
This is the Shaft Guide Sleeve, which fits over the Shaft Guide (21012) and creates a smooth surface for the Main Clutch (21101) and Main Bearing Seal (21120) to ride on. The ZeeBaaS Shaft Guide Sleeve is a true game changer. Each one is hand-polished on a high-speed lathe in our shop with increasing grits of sandpaper. The level of handwork we put into each sleeve makes your ZeeBaaS a game changer and is something no other company will dedicate time to do for each reel.
Please note- Upon receiving your Shaft Guide Sleeve, you will notice one end of it has a small step. This is the side that the Main Bearing Seal (21120) rides on. For an example of this, see our new service video.
This anodized aluminum Lock Ring holds your entire clutch assembly the frame of your reel. The threads inside of it allow for easy removal and installation of the clutch and pinion assembly without the need for extra tools, unlike some of our competition.
Please note- There is an o-ring that sits below the main body threads which the lock ring screws onto. If you are missing this, please call us and we will send one out with your order.
This anodized aluminum part houses our main clutch in the pinion assembly of all sizes of ZeeBaaS Reels. Comes with 3 Clutch Dowels (21144), 2 for keeping the housing stable in the frame, and 1 for cementing the main clutch in place.
Please note- The Main Bearing Seal (21120) and Clutch Housing o-ring (21124) that are associated with the Clutch Housing are not included with the part, but can be shipped as part of the order on request.
This Main Clutch provides the instant anti-reverse we are known for over our competition. Positioned within the Clutch Housing (21127) and cemented with a Clutch Dowel (21144), this part ensures your Z has a smooth, quiet and trustworthy constant anti-reverse. Each Clutch has a hand-drilled slot where the Clutch Dowel will sit after installation into the associated Clutch Housing.
Please note- There are left hand crank and right hand crank variations of the Main Clutch. Please ensure you purchase the correct one. If you have questions, we are glad to assist. The Clutch Dowel (21144) that holds the Main Clutch in place is a small, easy-to-lose part. If you lost yours while working on your Z, we can ship a new one with your new Main Clutch.
This bearing, being part of the clutch assembly, is called the "Main Bearing" for a reason- It is the primary bearing that the rotor movement relies on. Replacing this bearing when it feels rough makes a huge difference in the feel of your Z. This bearing will come slathered with our reel oil, which improves the feel even more. Fits all ZeeBaaS Reels.
Comes with Rail Bearings (2) pre-installed.
Our traverse guide was the original industry game changer when it comes to the perfect line lay - our competition tried to copy it. The ZeeBaaS traverse guide comes with the bearings installed on it for you, oiled, and ready to roll. Fits all sizes of ZeeBaaS reels.
Please note- Installation of the Traverse Guide can be an involved process, as there is some calibration that should be done to achieve the ideal installation depth and prevent shaft-rocking. Ideally, there is a small, cheap tool that helps calibration that is purchasable with this product upon request. Some older generations of reels have a slightly different design. Please contact us if you would like to purchase a traverse guide for reels made before 2013.
This small clutch is housed within the Gear Cover. Our reels utilize two clutches for redundancy- just another reason our reels are built so tough and trusted by so many anglers. No sawing your reel apart if this clutch goes bad- unlike some of our competition.
Please note- While there is only one variation of this clutch, depending on which side you crank on, it will need to be oriented a certain direction. For left-hand crank reels, the metal face of the clutch with the arrow or text faces inward towards the gear. On right-hand crank reels, the Delrin side with no lettering faces inward towards the gear. Pay attention to which way it was installed in your Z if you are unsure.
This bearing is seated within the Gear Cover and serves as the primary bearing which the Main (Drive) Gear spins on. Acting as both a roller and gear support, this bearing's health is vital to your Z.
Please note- If there is a spacer of any kind between the Gear Cover Bearing and the Main Gear, ensure that it is replaced in the same spot. Spacers serve a purpose in your reel, and removal of these spacers is not recommended.
This bearing is seated on the outer side of the Gear Cover and serves as support for the Main Gear. This bearing sees more wear than others, as it is positioned directly below the Cover Seal near the handle. It is locked into place with a Gear Retainer Clip (21148) which is also available for purchase if needed.
Our passivated stainless steel Handle Hub serves as the strong connection between your gear shaft and your cranking handle. While some competitors make this out of aluminum to save on weight, we believe that the strength of this part cannot be sacrificed, as it is a high stress area. Comes with a stop plug for handle position adjustment- meaning you can adjust your handle to whatever angle you like. Handle at 6-spool up, handle at 4-spool up, its up to you!
Please note- there are left hand crank and right hand crank variations for this part. Please ensure you purchase the proper variation. We recommend red Loctite 262 on the larger external threads that screw into the aluminum handle.
Comes with the screw required to mount (1/8 hex head).
Our stainless steel Hook Keeper is just another feature on your Z that separates it from the competition and puts it into a league of its own. Surf rods rarely have hook keepers built in, and you don't want to put your hook on your guide frames as it can put unnecessary tension on them and cause damage over time. The convenient location of the hook keeper makes it easy to use! Fits all sizes of ZeeBaaS reels.
Please note- Some reels made from 2010 to 2013 may not have a hole for a hook keeper.
Our Titanium Nitride Coated Main Shafts are machined out of raw titanium local to us. They are machined to the smoothest finish possible, but even that is not good enough for us. We take each raw shaft and hand-sand it to a very high grit mirror finish in our high speed lathe before sending it out to be titanium nitride coated. After the shaft is coated, we get it back and sand it again to a high grit finish, followed by a polishing step. The amount of time and effort we take to finish this part is something that no mass-production shop could commit to- the final results we achieve from the work we put into this single part makes all the difference in the world. Fits all sizes of ZeeBaaS reels.
Please note- This part has variations for left hand crank and right hand crank models. Please ensure you purchase the correct variation. This is an updated design. If your shaft is from before 2013, it may not interchange with this one without changing the accompanying traverse guide. If you believe this may be the case for your Z and you are unsure, we can to assist over the phone. or via email.
Comes with 2 mounting screws.
This bracket is an optional piece for your ZeeBaaS reel, but is handy for keeping rock out of your Traverse Guide. For most reels, this is not an issue, and it only adds extra stability and keeps the Traverse Guide nice and tight to the rails of your body. If you have substantial Traverse Guide rock, this is a simple, easy fix not requiring any calibration.
Please note- This uses 2 cover screws for mounting. Some older bodies may not have the proper thread pattern for these screws. While this can be an issue, other screws may work but we do not typically carry them.
Easier to keep clean. Easier to find your smallest parts.
Made locally, using only the finest EVA Closed Cell Marine Deck Foam, we designed these pads to make your service or repair efforts easier, and safer. Our Z-Utility Pads are a soft, durable and washable surface for you to perform any necessary repair — whether it’s in your house, shop, or on the tailgate of your truck or beach. It also is excellent for tying bucktails or flies. The premium-grade foam base provides a safe surface that reduces bounce (should you drop something on it), and the clean cutouts machined into the pad allow you to keep your work area clean, and your tools and small parts safe. The outlining border serves as a reservoir to catch any small important part (like a detent spring or clicker) from rolling off. It is light-weight and easy to store so you could bring it with you in case it’s needed.

Handmade and laser engraved by anglers, for anglers. When we were looking to step away from cardboard boxes and step it up to custom wooden boxes, we reached out to a few industry people we knew. After clicking our heads together and brainstorming an affordable box to use for your reel, tools, or whatever you care to put in it, here it is. Our first batch is done and ready to ship. These premium maple plywood boxes measure 7” X 7” X 7.5” on the outside, with inside space of 6” X 6” X 5.75” and include a soft cushion insert applied to the interior base.
If you wish to add your name, or someone else’s name to the front of the box, we can custom laser engrave on it as well. This makes it the perfect keepsake for you or anyone you are gifting it to, or a club/corporate promotional item. Additional charges will apply. Call to tell us what you are looking and let us make it happen for you!
When it comes to quality, this is like the icing on the cake. What’s in side is great, but what’s outside helps create the entire package! We partnered with the Wakefield Brothers (from JL Wakefield & Son’s) to design a box that you can house your ZeeBaaS Fishing Reel in. They are located in Philadelphia, have a quality cabinetry and woodworking shop with tremendous attention to detail, they are passionate anglers, and they truly enjoy helping others.
This is our Premium ZeeBaaS Fishing Reel Box hand-crafted from 5/8th maple with dovetail joints and a CNC Z logo, hand-sanded and assembled, stained and clear coated with inset magnets to hold the cover in a super clean design.

Little changes make a huge difference, especially when it comes to the enhancing the tools you rely on. Say hello to our NEW Titanium Line Roller for our manual wire bailed systems. Stronger and longer lasting than our previous line rollers!
The first reel to receive the Titanium Line Roller is a ZX-27 built in 2014 and owned by Capt. Peter Douma of Windward Outfitters, Montauk (shown). After fighting a 100" Bluefin Tuna for 3+ hours, on top of 30+ tuna in a few weeks in 2024, Capt. Douma recently added a bailed rotor to his original bail-less setup for the big game. He will keep his bail-less rotor and swap it out for his surfcasting nights.
[Line roller includes bearings and post - please remember to select the proper Lefty or Righty option that you require]
