Anyone know off the top off their heads the ARB bearing size this reel will accept? I actually found a 1st gen, BNIB!!!

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?

it has to be pressed in. it's something we're set up to do if you want.
