I was working on a Zata in the garage and went to the Abu website to find a parts diagram. What's this, a 1 star review for a Zata? To the previous reviewer, if there's a way to send you a photo of the parts diagram I can do it. Or you can probably find it online but I didn't see it on the website either. You are correct, no anti-reverse switch.

While I'm here though, I need to stand up for Abu and the team that developed the Zata. This is a fantastic reel. I fish extremely challenging conditions in WA State and this reel has never failed me. Butter smooth even after plenty of steelhead. Rock solid gearing. The drag handled my biggest winter run steelhead effortlessly. I was actually just servicing my size 30 Zata even though it felt fine. Turns out it was full of river sand. Guess what, it was still functioning flawlessly. One small gripe for the sake of honesty- if twitching jigs for coho, there is a click within the body of both the size 30 and 40 Zata that I can't identify. You never hear it fishing other techniques.

And the green/red color scheme. Whew. So, so good. Overall, I love this reel and I'm glad I have several of them. Zata forever.
