Tiki Man Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Had a bearing go bad on my Diawa baitcasting reel. This is a $175 reel similar to Shimano Curado so I decided to replace the bearings instead of throwing out the reel. I bought a set of ceramic bearings from Boca Bearing in Florida. WOW, it is unbelievable what a difference. The spool will now free spin for about 20 seconds or more without stopping. If you want to make your reel cast a mile change out the bearings to ceramic for $18.95 with free shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
