I have a baggy with these fancy orange-shield bearings, no idea what they go to (penn 113h maybe?) but they are perfect fit for swapping the cast control bushing on my sl20sh.
I am not sure this was a good thing to do, but I do like tossing a chovie or small swimbait as far as I can....
"Ranchero" is what they call severe backlash down in Baja, in case anybody was wondering...... pinche ranchero......
;D ;D ;D ;D

They came with the Magnum 99 that I built for you.
Joel,
I did a swap out of the bushings in both my SL20SH that I upgraded and on my Satlist BG20H and neither had better freespool after the change. I removed one shield on each replacement bearing, cleaned them with brake cleaner and lubed with TSI. I found in both reels that the spool shaft spun freely and did not come in contact with the inner race of either bearing. I think the bushing is there more for support of frame flex or the spool twisting a bit when under load. Granted I did not use ceramic bearings, just stainless, but I did not see any advantage after doing the swap.
Edit: Here is a thread about the swap of the bushing for bearing in my BG 20H.

Maybe you will find better results in your reel.
also did a conversion on my sl30 and did a video clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIc1qHwd4mc
also no real difference in free spool really but interested to see how more steady the reel is with bearing there.. anyone notice a more stable reel during cast with less overwinds?
