Thanks for the feedback I still haven't got around to getting one but this helps in my choice
I went out yesterday and test drove my Zebco Omega ZO3 Pro. Smooth casting and retrieving little sucker. I caught over 30 bluegills with it in a couple of hours fishing and gave it a good workout.
But there was really no big difference between the Pro and the regular ZO3 in my honest opinion. Both are fantastic little closed face reels.

Guess i will pick one up
If you want to see the differences in a lot of these kinds of reels. Take that front plate off and look at the line pickups. In the upper end ones the pick ups are metal and in the best one it will have three. Most of the others only have two. Gear ratio is another big thing with these and the higher end ones usually have the fastest gear ratio. Normally this wouldnt matter that much but some of them are incredibly slow.
