Title: Reel Bearings for Smaller Baitcasting Reels
Post by: Cadman on April 18, 2024, 04:56:35 PM
I am looking to buy some bulk bearings (10 packs) for all the reels I clean. I am looking for I think Abec 5 bearings, kind of middle of the road bearings. Where is a good place to buy good bearings. I see a lot of places sell steel bearings. I think Stn Stl should be in order. Thanks for any info in advance.

Boca Bearings.  I thought that most people put ABEC 7's in fishing reels.

I put ABEC 7's on the spool, however these are going on the ends of the worm gear and ABEC 5's should be sufficient. Thank You for your reply.
