CENTREPIN REEL REPLACEMENT BEARINGS

Our in-stock bearings are OEM (original equipment manufacturer) where available or higher quality, and in a bearing class of ABEC 3 or higher depending on application. We carefully select all bearings to insure smooth running, low-torque start-up and smooth spin of your centerpin. 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 any wear may be achieved without the bearings being removal from the spool housing., by simply separating the reel's spool from the back-plate(if able). Once the bearing(s) inner rings are visible in each side of the spool, begin by just placing the sharpened end of a pencil snug in the inner ring of each bearing, and while holding the spool or bearing (if completely removed from the spool housing) slowly rotating the pencil back and forth to get the rings moving on the steel balls and simultaneously paying close attention to any excessive noise, rumbling, and and any other slightest resistance being felt with your hand while the races are in motion. If anything as described is felt it may be deterring low-torque spin of your reel prompting replacement(s).
