I've built rods for years, still do but now I got the reel bug.  I am looking to do a rebuild on an International 12lt and was wondering where I could get new bearings and which would you recommend.  Grease as well. Was thinking of sending it to CAls for blueprinting.  Any thoughts?
Thanks.

For Bearings, Boca Bearings or Smoothdrag.

Cal's is top of the list for hopping up your reel, but they are expensive.  It may be cheaper to find a used 12T that has already been hopped up by Cal's, though.

smoothdrag.com should have the bearings you need.  if you have to get a new drag washer, go to mysticparts.com
