Boca bearing experience...
Looking for experienced comparisons between Boca Lightning ceramic bearings and the Orange Seal ceramic bearings. Thanks

Re: Boca bearing experience...
The lightning bearings aren't ceramic. They are stainless, perform similarly and are quieter than the ceramic A7's.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Ceramic Lightning Fishing Reel Bearing kits are intended an upgrade replacement to stock fishing reel bearings. These ABEC #5 bearings have ceramic balls with stainless steel races, retainers and shields. Ceramic will never corrode, has less rolling resistance and is lighter and than steel. As a result ceramic bearings last longer and cast longer. All Ceramic Lightning fishing reel bearings are supplied dry, without grease or oil. Lubrication can be added upon request. KIT (2) SMR103C-YZZ #5 NB2
Per BOCA's website. Brian.

Are you fishing or aimlessly casting around?

Re: Boca bearing experience...
I have several pairs of each and I see no noticable differences in performance. I will buy the lightnings from now on.
Do you really need new bearings? I find that if I degrease and re lube a Shimano ar-b with rem oil or ardent oil (their only good product lol), it will equal any hybrid ceramics I've used!
Maybe try some hedgehog or zpi bearings instead.

Re: Boca bearing experience...
Better quality you won't notice between the two, bit of noise difference.
If you flush your stocks like mentioned above you will notice that Bocas are a downgrade
