Title: Newell 229
Post by: Bill Benrath on September 12, 2009, 03:28:56 PM
Alan;

Regarding the Newell 229; I just ordered one for casting swimbaits to albacore.  I ordered the carbontex drag washers; where should I order the bearings you recommended on the other post?  I think I've heard you say that you don't like the ceramic bearings; is this correct?

Thanks in advance,

Bill Benrath

bill, while you are switching out the drag washers, just lube up the stock newell bearings with xtreme reel + and you'll be fine.  simple stuff!  alan

That's about what I thought I'd do; thanks for the reply.
