Default What bearings do yall use with the curados e7,6,5s
Just wondering if any of you guys change the bearings in the newer curados? I came across a deal at 110 dollars apiece so I got one of each gear ratio and after 4 reds pulling drag bearing froze up so disassemble and greased good. Seems a lot better now. But just wondering if there is a few things that you guys change?

Check out this youtube video with a reel freespooling using the ceramic boca bearings.


You can also find youtube videos showing you how to change out the bearings and for reel maintenance as well.
