yes i have tried the ceramic hybrid from isutami i tested them in my personal shimano baitcasters , at first i was a little annoyed at how noisy they were compared to the shielded vbx hybrids that were previously on the reels so i soaked them for twelve hours in tsi301 they were then drained and spun dry at a compressed air gun  then given a shot  of ether and spun again this quitened the bearings substantiately i removed one cover of the vbx bearings and did the same to them i found very little difference the vbx did spin a tad longer but i put that down to the fact that they are run in so to speak,the 3x10x4,4x10x4 and the 5x11x4 bearings came with a w type cage whereas the 3x8x4 and 3x10x4  came with a superior j type ribbon cage, all in all i am very satisfied with the ceramic hybrids i have sold about 20 sets and have had no complaints, most of the buyers from my FilAng forum report greater distances and are very happy with the upgrade over stock ss bearings.
I also recieved some full Si3NC ceramic bearings these are definatly an upgrade on the ceramic hybrids i don't find them to have a much greater free spin than the hybrids but they are much quiter  need absolutely no lubrication,are about a third of the weight of ss and will never rust the componants are all Si3NC ceramic except for the races which are PEEK,all my baitcasters now have them .i also got some of the anti reverse bearings from isutami they do indeed feel more robust then the stock shimano ar bearing, the roller pins are larger than the stock shimano and there are fewer pins than the stock 6 compared to 10 the problem is they will not fit any of my reels the outer ribs are a different shape so the bearing will not slide in, this is something that Shelby will be working on along with seeing if they can put j type ribbon cages in all the hybrids

Hey guys,

Here we clarify something, we still accept small qty orders, but for ceramic and hybrid ceramic ones,because now we do not have inventory now,we have a MOQ 500 for ceramic&Hybrid ceramic ones. For stainless steel ones, we still have enough inventory for them. ;D

By the way, thanks kenny and Ron for your remind and feedbacks.

Guys,

Any more comments/updates on these ISUTAMI bearings?  I read the whole posting (7 pages) and I am very currious about these bearings vs the supplier's we have now.  How are the ABEC5 bearings working out?  For more info on steel composition you can go to: http://www.spyderco.com/edge-u-cation/steel.php and here: http://www.spyderco.com/edge-u-cation/index.php?item=3.  Evaluation of these two link may help in your understanding of steel elements and different compositions of steels.

Guys with samples (Alan, etc); any comments?

something really wierd happened.  it looked like someone from isutami was tagged as a spammer on stopforumspam.com or honeypot.com when he tried to register.  those are the two filters used on this board.  when shelby's friend was banned, the software for this site automatically picked up shelby's account and banned him as well.  i didn't do it.  i am also not sure how to undo all of this mess.  even if i "untag" his ip address, it will just get picked up again.  it's a bug in the software, i think.  in the meantime, i had asked shelby about all the chinese spam that i was receiving and to see if he could stop it, but never heard back from him.

I received the sample bearings offered at $5.. 
Had some back & forth with Shelby as the site wouldnt take the info??
Had a Language glitch on my Address so that slowed it down???

Also had requested 3 sizes that I used the most. 
Got '1' of those?? 
Not 1 set of 2, just 1 (one) bearing of the 3 sizes I asked for???
The rest were weird sizes and they are still sitting on the bench un-used....

They look OK, (but so did my first wife).   Ill never know for sure!!!
Sorry, I know this isnt much help.   Just my Experience....

Just me & my opinion..
But this was enough for me that I wont use them again...

At first, I thought Shelby was just a spammer but it seems like his company is legit and I am definitely interested if he comes up with an improved AR bearing that will fit into the major reel manufacturers sideplates. I hope we get him back.
