Where to buy spool bearings?

Post by FAMOUS187 » Thu Dec 29, 2022 6:37 am

I’m looking to upgrade some older Daiwa reels (Fuegos, SOL, and Pixy) and was wondering where I can order spool bearings from. I’m interested in ZPI and Hedgehog but can’t seem to find a good dealer stateside. I’ve heard good things in the past about Hawg Tech and not so great things about Spool Speed. Any recommendations?

Thanks

You can order directly from Hedgehog Studio website.
They do ship to the United States.

Thank you! That appears to be my best option right now.

Also, I can't find much info on what size spool bearings I need for my old Team Daiwa Fuego (the red ones). I think these are correct:
5x11x4
3x8x4

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks
