CENTREPIN REEL REPLACEMENT BEARINGS

The bearings we offer are quality selected to insure smooth running, low-torque start-up and spin. In our opinion and in cases noticed over the years, it's the outer bearing which usually obtains the most wear and load while fishing and batting of the reel's drum, as opposed to the inner back-plate side bearing. Lack of performance-spin of your center pin reel may be due to this bearing needing replacing and showing most wear due to rust-pitted balls and ring surfaces resulting from the harsh elements and the reel sitting for longer periods of time not being used.

A quick performance-test for wear of the bearings may be achieved, without the bearings being removal from the spool housing. Simply just separate the reel's spool from the back-plate, and once the bearing's inner rings are visible begin by just placing the sharpened end of a pencil snug in the inner ring of each bearing and while holding the outer rim of the spool slowly rotating the pencil back and forth to get the rings moving on the steel balls, simultaneously paying close attention to any excessive noise, rumbling and any slightest resistance being felt while races are in motion.

We are also able to match and supply any brand bearing available for most centrepin reels in available rating from ABEC 1-9 from various manufacturers. Please email us your inquiry stating application, rating and brand required for a quote.

Singer oil is a blend of very thin and light colored oils. Its lubricant characteristics and adhesive properties are unmatched in quality, allow better penetration, polishing of metals, and lubrication for longer periods than common oils.
