Ceramic boca bearing upgrade. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've put the Orange sealed ceramics in a lot of my bass reels. I love them. I dunno if there is a huge difference between the SS, but they are nice. Nice thing is the ceramic guts won't rust, but the frame still can. I received a slightly better free spool with them allowing me to cast a little further.

Did you do the full kit or just the spool bearings? I think the most benefit would probably be on the spool bearings.

Huge difference. I went with the ceramic spool bearings on my revo inshore and buddy has the SS his . We both have 200 yards 30# braid and the same rod, mine outcasts his by quite a bit and its not the user as we have swapped set ups.
