Description
Ceramic Lightning Fishing Reel Bearing kits are intended an upgrade replacement to stock fishing reel bearings. These ABEC #5 bearings have ceramic balls with stainless steel races, retainers and shields. Ceramic will never corrode, has less rolling resistance and is lighter and than steel. As a result ceramic bearings last longer and cast longer. All Ceramic Lightning fishing reel bearings are supplied dry, without grease or oil. Lubrication can be added upon request.

I was leery when I cheaped out with the Lightnings instead of the Orange Seals. No mistake at all.
I tested the Citicas with full spools, line taped down on the spool, tension knob backed off, and dry bearings. I made a few fast cranks and then hit the thumb bar release. The stock bearings would allow the spool to spin for 20 to 30 seconds at most. The Lightnings would spin for over 2 1/2 minutes - just shy of 3. Same on the Curados.
These are great reels as purchased, but now they're incredible. I can only guess what the Orange Seals would do. I've fished with the Curado CU200Es and the Citica several times and I'm very happy with the Lightnings. I'm surprised that you don't have reviews for these like you do for the Orange Seals.
The next Curados are CU300E and CU300EJ that I use for Muskie fishing. I'll be showing them off to all the guys at the resort in two weeks.
Thanks for the great product and perfect web site.

1) The shipping was very fast.
2) The quality of your packaging and labelling is very good.
3) I've been using the bearings on my casting reels for some months now. I can say that the performance is very good, especially the orange seal bearings.
Casting is easier now. Better at distance.
Thanks for making my fishing more fun,
-Chan

Reviewer : GregDate : 11/17/2022Wow .. So much better than stock it’s not even funnyInstalled a set of these In one of my Curado K 200s , and they’re 10x better than the factory bearings . The spool spins for what seems like forever even with cast control tightened a bit … haven’t cast it yet but I know it’s better already . Not that Curado Ks aren’t great right outta the box cus they are … these bearings just take it up another notch .. probably the best casting reel made for the money and with these Boca bearings it’s gonna be just like a sports car … sure like to see how a set works on my Already silky smooth Tranx 400 … hopefully they’ll get them to me asap .. Great bearings no doubt ..
