Useless information

Went to local tackle shop to get a bearing for my shimmy 15/30 .R95.00 I went around the corner to the car spares shop R16.00 big difference, I am sure it will last if packed in a bit of grease:spite:spite

as long as it is not your bearings used during casting....

 

[Mouldz]

THE ONE AROUND THE HANDLE SHAFT,I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS SURELY A BEARING DESIGNED TO BE USED IN A CAR CAN WITHSTAND THE FORCES ACTIVE IN A REEL.

Mouldie, that would be Salt Water. The Shimano bearings are supposedly Corrosion Resistant.

EISH I DONT KNOW ,TESTED BOTH WITH A MAGNET,THE ORIGINAL STICKS TO MAGNET, WITCH IMPLIES ITS NOT STAINLESS STEEL

Get Stainless Steel bearings by bearing man

Grease bearings that doesn't run with the spool
Oil bearings that works with the spool shaft
If u grease them you'll get less distance when casting

I'm not worried about long distance so I mix oil and grease, more protection than oil and lower viscocity than just grease, call it ny happy medium
