I just purchased a "pre-owned" Shimano Stradic 3000fj. I suspect the previous owner didn't take well care of this reel and am getting bearing noise out of it.

I also had this problem with an older Daiwa TDA 2500a, and was never able to figure out exactly which bearing was the problem child. I've spun them with air, and they go a relatively good time, put on the end of a pencil and rotated the outer race back and forth- still couldn't tell. I would hate to have to purchase all new bearings one at a time, or even together just to get to the bad one.

Thanks.
