Well, it looks like they've yet to be tested here then.
I'm upgrading a new to me, bubba'ed narrow 4/0
What are the go to spool bearings for a 113H
and are the bocca's worth the price?
Thanks

I would rather buy stainless steel bearings my self.

Which brand do you prefer Bryan?
It's been a few years since i've been out of the game
and I'm in need of replacing a set.
Just wondering if anything new was worth the extra$/

I buy from Dawn (SmoothDrag.com). If she doesn't have the size, I buy from Boca. In some cases, I will buy from the reel manufacturer if I'm buying from them already and shipping is already being paid for from my order.
Most importantly is at least ABEC 5 and Stainless Steel.
That name is so familiar? Wonder if I have bought from him before?
All bearings from Japanese manufacturers are top shelf. The standard is such that you don't have to worry about ABEC ratings.
And even among these, EZO bearings are truly superb and are marketed in the USA under the Sapporo label. Dadsoletackle sell them at a good price. He is an honest guy but the service can be a bit hit and miss.
I was once given a TLD20 that had been sitting on the bottom of the bay for a couple of months. The thing that impressed the hell outa me was that there was not a sign of rust on the spool bearings. They were Japanese but not the usual brands. NTN maybe ??? Shoulda paid more attention sorry.
