you need an S-HF-1416, stainless steel.  i just got a bunch from boca.  they are not cheap.  look on your bearing.  if it says HF-1416, then you have a plain steel AR bearing.

Alan,
This is the Boss Fury with only the (2) dog pawls. I will need to add the ARB  bearing

it's funny, the stainless steel ar bearing is supposed to say S-HF-1416, but the ones i received said HF-1416.  i've got to send an email to boca bearings and get this straightened out.

i spoke to boca.  jeff brooks says that the hf-1416's are actually stainless, even though it does not say so.  the are $22 each.

Thanks Alan.
Can I just order from you or do I need to send you the reel to add the bearings too?
