Why do you Need bearings? I have found cleaning them is just as good. There is a YouTube video how.

They have them at www.centerpinangling.com in the parts section and you can get them to install them as well.

They have bearings for most reels. Easy to order to your door.

unless the bearings are damaged in anyway, I don't think new bearings will help that reel spin much better.
Remove all the grease from the bearings and the spindle and use a low visc oil instead(sewing machine oil)
I've owned a raw 2 once and after getting rid of all the grease it spun awesome! 3 min plus! and great start up

Thats what i was getting at with the cleaning video. I Have 3 okumas (okumas are all the same other than the drag models) and the one that spins the best has cleaned factory bearings, and its well used vs the ones w Bocas

Do you oil/lube the ceramic bocas?

 

[fishermandan420]

Ceramic bearings require no lubricant

I thought so but I found odd forms saying that you should. Thanks TroutCommander.

I upgraded to Boca a year ago. It was like 30 bucks. Worth it for me but to be honest I never REALLY tried to clean my old ones properly.

I have a raw2. I don't know what they put in the bearings but it does accumulate sand and dirt. One thing though is it's a really good reel. Clean it and put some sewing machine oil. it works better than brand new.

I ordered a set for my aventa most people complain about the bearings.
