Long Lasting Durability
Been using these for a full season now. Still spinning freely without any grit or noise. Best investment for maintaining old reels.

Silky Smooth Operation
Replaced the stock bearings in my baitcaster. The difference in casting distance and smoothness is night and day. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade.

Good Upgrade
Definitely smoother than the original parts. Installation took some patience but the performance gain is worth it. One bearing was slightly tight.

Great for Saltwater
I fish off the pier regularly and these have held up well against the salt spray. No signs of corrosion after three months of heavy use.

Perfect Fit for Shimano
Ordered these for my Stradic reel. They fit perfectly without any modification. The reel spins much quieter now.
Q: Are these bearings sealed against water?
A: Yes, they feature double rubber seals which provide excellent protection against water and dust intrusion.
Q: Will these fit a Shimano Stradic FL 2500?
A: Yes, these bearings are compatible with most Shimano Stradic models, including the FL 2500. Please verify your specific reel's bearing sizes before ordering.
Q: Do I need a special tool to install these?
A: While you can install them carefully by hand, we recommend using a bearing press tool to ensure they are seated evenly without damage.
Q: Do these come pre-lubricated?
A: Yes, all NMB bearings come pre-lubricated from the factory. However, adding a drop of reel oil after installation can enhance performance.
Q: How many bearings are included in this package?
A: This specific kit includes 10 stainless steel bearings, which is enough to replace all standard bearings in most baitcasting reels.
