misfish Posted October 1, 2011 Report Posted October 1, 2011 Is there no number on the bearings you have? There should be.

chefboi17 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Posted October 3, 2011 If ordering from boca, look for the ceramic hybrids that are not greased or oiled, I ordered a 10 pack of rc bearings in the right size, but they need to be warn in to spin properly. I guess i could degrease them, and use a sewing machine oil, but I want to see how these are stock, so I'll give them a few outings to break in. (they spin fine when drifting a piker for salmon, but a small drennan needs a bump to get started. Btw I got the orange rubber sealed ceramic hybrids) Size should be .125 width .250 ID .375 od If I remember correctly
