Title: What happens when bearings are damaged?
Post by: japeto on April 21, 2016, 06:52:14 PM
Aside from loss of freespool (I guess), what happens when bearings are damaged and/or fail on an Avet reel. Can this kind of damage cause the reel to seize up?

Yes, a failed bearing can lock up a reel.

Not to mention tear up bearing races and possible other internal damage from loose balls!
