Stradic FJ handle bearing upgrade question.

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Stradic FJ handle bearing upgrade question.

Post by Roadwork ahead » Sun Oct 21, 2012 11:09 am

Recently purchased the new Stradic 3000 fj. Was considering upgrading the handle bearings. This will be used for power fishing (salmon, steelhead). Is it worth the additional cost?. Is there that much additional performance? See there is a High Quality CRBB Stainless Steel Ball Bearings on epay for 18.00 plus shipping. Also checked on Ceramic Orange Seal ABEC 7 Fishing Reel Bearings witch are about 30.00. Would like to increase the performance of the reel but not sure if it would be worth the cost. Thanks.
