My suggestion would be not to mess with a reel unless you are having problems with it.

Simple things. But ta be honest ,
i wouldnt start upgradin and tinkerin till ya have a noticeable reason to do so. I just put 540 bux worth of ceramics in a brand new reel. Needless to say its just as smooth as before the upgrade. Also be prepared fer more noise wiyh hynrid ceramics. Full ceramics are not nearly as noisy. Lemme know if i can help ya

couldnt you just buy a few new ones for the price of one upgrade? i guess what I'm getting at is it really worth that kind of money?
