Lew's Underspin Speedcast SUS1 Bearing Upgrade

[jgp12000]

I have always liked underspin reels for casting jigs,but they didn't last very long or had some sorta design flaw.I finally found a keeper and of course they discontinued it .I have a backup and they can be still be found on EBAY. Anywho,Lew's like others are going for the "Fisher Price" look. I tore my primary SUS1 down, it does have a pinion bearing,but the main gear rotates in a plastic bushings one on each side of the case.The handle shaft goes thru for the ambidextrous conversion. I measured the bushings and ordered the same size bearings. It made a great reel even greater! Before the handle might rotate 1 revolution with a flick of the wrist,now 5 times,almost like a spinning reel,soooo smooth.
