Reel Bearings
Just wondering if any of you do it yourselfers out there change your beraings/parts on your reels. I have a Calcutta and Curodo that needs bearings. I was wondering who ya'll ordered your bearings from. I know I can bring it and get it fixed but being its just bearings i wanted to do it myself.

take your time and pay attention to detail, you should be fine |
Shamino reels are the easiest to change bearing on..

I looked at that site after I found it on a search. Just wondering how hard is it to make sure you're getting the right ones.

I saw they had several different bearings under each reel. Is that just the different makes/grades of bearings for that reel.

yes they have different ones for the same reel. the more expensive the better. go with the orange seal full ceramics. put a lil hot sauce on them and you wont be disappointed. all you need is the spool bearings. dont get the full bearing kit unless thats what you need. |

I wish I would have been on this site 2 yrs ago before I got one. A guy at a local tackle shop sold me on that junk. It is truly trash |

Everyone has their own favorite brands n believe me ive tried em all. I myself just find that shimano maybe a lil pricier but they hold up and with a lil cleanin n maintenance theyll last forever. Never have i had a major problem with any of my reels. Ive upgraded to all ceramics in all six of my curados n theyre smooth as glass |

If you are looking to just replace your bearings (not upgrade) check out
www.avidrc.com they are the same quality as the stock bearings and are only $1.00 each. |
