Contents of the set: You get two high-precision ceramic ball bearings of size 630 (3mm x 6mm x 2.5mm). Don't worry if you've never dared to use bearings before – an English manual is included that makes installation a breeze. And then? Off to the water and marvel at how far you can throw now!
Characteristics:
-
Dust and water resistant: Thanks to the shielding on both sides, neither dust nor salt water penetrates into the interior of the bearing, which further improves the lifespan and performance of your reel.
-
Easy replacement: Even if you are a beginner, you can easily replace the bearings yourself thanks to the included English instructions. Enjoy upgrading your reel without the stress and complicated instructions.
HEDGEHOG STUDIO AIR Ball Bearing:
-
General : When fully loaded, all bearings achieve similar distances. However, the AIR series makes it easier to maintain control on shorter casts such as pitching. For lighter lures under 20g, the AIR series increases your casting distance significantly.
-
AIR BFS vs. AIR Ceramic : While AIR BFS is a cost-effective option, AIR Ceramic offers the best balance whether you use ultralight lures or not.
-
Recommendations : For highest performance choose AIR Ceramic for light lures under 20g and AIR HD Ceramic for heavier lures or saltwater use.
So if you're ready to turn your reel into an absolute casting machine, grab the "Kattobi" tuning ball bearing. It is robust, precise and makes every throw an experience. Give yourself the upgrade your role deserves!
Why use tuning bearings?
In general, ball bearings that are installed in the roller at the factory often do not have good rotation properties because a lot of grease and dust prevent smooth running.
The tuning kit is oiled as standard, Hedgehog Studio 's own Alchemy oil ensures the perfect balance between oil and ball bearings.
The "Kattobi" bearings are subjected to quality control, for this reason they are checked by hand after assembly and only the bearings with an excellent rotation performance are checked > are allowed to leave the house.
Therefore it is not necessary to clean or lubricate the ball bearings. The ball bearings can be used out of the box.
