Title: Bearings for BFT Black Thunder V12 by Omoto
Post by: Drisse on May 15, 2020, 03:44:18 PM
Hi folks! I'm looking for a bunch of 10x20x6mm bearings for Omoto reels (BFT Black Thunder V12). I got the measurments 9,98x19,98x5,94mm with an electronical caliper. I got a couple of hits when I searched for them, but to expensive. I know that you get what you pay for. But this time it needs to be the cheap alternative since its 20reels x 2bearings. Prefer rubbershielded with corrosion resistance. Anoyone who knows where to find? Thanks in advance 🎣

Some online places have them. What does Omoto say? Btw, you might be able to negotiate a better price if ordering 40 of them.

Hello Robert!
Yes, I've found them on a couple of sites. But not the right price for me. The other bearings needed for the reels I got from Germany for about 3€/bearing. Have emailed Omoto, waiting for answer.

Sabaman1 They have the bearing I need. But to expensive for 20 reels = 40 bearings. Almost every reel has one or more broken bearings. So my plan is to replace every bearing to save time while repair and service. Every reel has to be total dismantled and all the parts ultrasonic cleaned. So I can't put time on checking and cleaning all the bearings.
