Great Performance
Very fast spinning. Installation required a press tool though, so be careful not to damage them during fitment.

Saltwater Proof
Used them offshore for a week. No corrosion signs at all. Much better than standard steel bearings.

Worth the Upgrade
Much better than stock steel bearings. Silence is golden when you are out on the water fishing.
