You can buy the same bearings he sells off aliexpress for pennies on the dollar. Personally I would not run them in my reels. There are much better bearings out there with much tighter tolerances.

If you don't mind the rough feel and loud noise from them, then you will be ok. Personally, I wouldn't put them in any reel, much less my own. Bearings are definitely one of the items that you get what you pay for.

No sugar coating here! :lol: I was thinking the same thing, but I practiced a little restraint for once. ;)
