Default 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.

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.

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.
