Or in fact ANY ceramic bearings.  ;)

what is the correct [just know I'm opening a can of worms here] way to lubricate them to provide optimal reel control during long distance FISHING casting please.

Hi Mo
You can use ceramics dry though they tend to be quite noisy, I add one drop of yellow rocket to them spin them out then re-fit.
Should be good for a few trips, remove, clean and re-oil as necessary (you will know when) ;D

I was told by Boca to run them dry
I have not failed.  I just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Running them dry is great ---- If they never have contact with water!!!!
The Cages & Races in the Hybrid Ceramics are SS..  They will rust pretty fast.
The lube is mainly to protect those parts... 
301 or 321 seems to last the longest in that regard...

from what i've seen, tsi 301 and tsi 321 are the best products around.  i would lube hybrid bearings with these products to protect the cage and races, and not worry about the ceramic balls. 
send me an email at alantani@yahoo.com for questions!
