ZPI bearings

Post by Lobo » Sat Jan 18, 2020 8:29 am

I have two reels one of them has ZPI in the spool. I just forgot which
Any marking on them for recognition ?
I don't remember if they were open on both sides or covered on one.
Anybody have any information?
Would greatly appreciate it.

Not sure. Mine has two lines that run parallel along the outer face but no other markings.

Their SS bearings are ZR and are open on one side only. I like SS over ceramic and their ZR bearings are faster than ABEC 9. They come pre lubed with their oil. For the money they cannot be beat.
