How od you like those kyosho bearings compared to hedghog bfs bearings?

They are my personal favorite. Im not a big fan of ceramic bearings in spools just because it makes the spool loud when casting. I like my setups to feel ultra smooth on the cast and retrieve. The Kyosho bearing is also .1 gram lighter than the stock roro bearing.
Weight with stock bearing

Well, next summer is now. I finally broke down and the reel on the way. I am suprised that I held out this long (“goes on to pad himself on the back - good boy”)Dalleinf wrote: ↑Mon Nov 25, 2019 9:02 pmThat was my first thought. Knowing myself, I will become interested before next summer when trout season kicks in...Hogsticker2 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 25, 2019 1:54 pmSo is mine. It's screaming thank you for having no interest in this reel!

Yes, I believe they have a large rod factory in Scotland. I know that some (supposedly fantastic) salmon rods have been made there (e.g. Daiwa Whisker).Aquaftm45 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 2:18 amWow..super interesting rod "Made in the UK"Dalleinf wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 8:47 pmI will be pairing mine with a Daiwa Air AGS Long Distance Finesse:

From an online retailer:
Daiwa UK office was set up in 1977 in Whishaw, Scotland, where it remains to this day. Daiwa Sports Ltd have a full range of products specifically designed for carp, coarse, game, lure, sea and specialist fishing – with expert consultants dedicated to each aspect of the fishing experience. Scotland now boasts Daiwa’s largest factory outside the Far East. This means that a large majority of the Daiwa fishing rods and poles sold in the UK have been built and designed in the UK, with UK anglers, and the specific challenges they face, in mind.
