Want to take your Shimano to a whole new level?
With the RL-TNG Ball Bearing Tuning Kit, you get maximum spool joy, less friction, and sensitive cranking – perfect for the finest casts and highest precision. 🎣

Our Highspeed ABEC 9 spool bearings and matched stainless steel inner bearings make your reel fly – quieter, faster, and more durable than ever before!

ℹ️ Note:

This ball bearing tuning kit fits a variety of Shimano baitcasting reels.
Attention: For special models like Shimano BFS variants (e.g. Aldebaran BFS, Curado BFS), different spool bearing sizes may be installed.
Please check the bearing sizes before purchase or contact us directly if unsure!


🧰 Here's what's inside – your tuning package:

✅ 2x Spool Bearings – Highspeed ABEC 9 (3x10x4)

  • For lightning-fast spool start
  • Maximum free spool with minimal friction
  • Ideal for light to medium lures and precise casts

✅ 1x Spool Bearing – Highspeed (5x11x4) (for certain models)

  • Robust freewheel bearing for special Shimano spool setups

✅ 1x Pinion Bearing – Highspeed ABEC 9

  • Optimize the rotation agility of your main shaft
  • Ensures a significantly smoother and faster operation

✅ 1x Pinion Support Bearing – Stainless Steel

  • Stabilizes the gear shaft under load
  • Makes your drive more durable and smoother

✅ 1x Levelwind bearing – stainless steel

  • Clean, even line lay
  • No more jerking when retrieving

🧠 Which bearings do you need to change on your Shimano?

➡️ Change spool bearing:
Always renew spool + sideplate bearings – only then do you achieve maximum free spool.

➡️ Change pinion bearing:
This optimizes the main shaft's rotation and gives you noticeably smoother crank movement.

➡️ Change levelwind bearing:
Ensures clean, tight windings and even line release.

Important: Always replace both spool bearings – one-sided tuning does not deliver full performance!


💬 Here's how to find out quickly:

  1. Open sideplate and remove spool
  2. Check bearing positions:

Bearing visible on the spool? → Change spool bearing and sideplate bearing

No bearing visible? → Change tension cap bearing + sideplate bearing

👉 Tip:
Many Shimano models hide the second bearing well – look closely!


🔧 Tool recommendation: Don't forget the Pin Remover!

If the spool bearing is secured with a locking pin:
➡️ Save yourself cursing and scratches – use the Pin Remover Tool for safe disassembly.

Spürbarer Unterschied – meine Shimano läuft jetzt wie geschmiert!

Ich habe das RL-TNG Highspeed Kugellager Set in meine Shimano Curado eingebaut und bin richtig begeistert. Die Rolle läuft jetzt deutlich freier und geschmeidiger.

Gerade beim Werfen mit leichteren Ködern merkt man den Unterschied sofort – die Spule dreht viel länger nach, das macht richtig Spaß!

Qualität wirkt top, sauber verarbeitet, und der Preis passt auch. Für mich das ideale Upgrade, um noch mehr aus der Rolle rauszuholen.

Würde ich jederzeit wieder kaufen!
