Hedgehog Studio "Kattobi" Tuning Kit Ceramic Ball Bearings | Daiwa 1030 & 1030 Air HD

With the "Kattobi" Bearing Tuning Kit, you get a premium bearing set from Japan for your baitcasting reel. The kit includes 2 bearings with the bearing size 1030Air (3mm x 10mm x 4mm).

The small ceramic balls are installed so precisely in the housing that they start to rotate with the slightest weights. This makes the fishing reel perform incredibly well, offering on one hand an extremely high rotation speed and on the other a very smooth operation.

Squeeze out the last bit of meters!

The Air HD Ceramic Bearing Set is aimed at anglers who operate in the Heavy Duty range and primarily cast lures from 5 - 200 g. With the bearing, you achieve on average 10 - 30% more casting distance. It doesn’t sound like much, but with a casting distance of 30 m, you get up to 9 m more out of your reel compared to factory bearings. This allows you to fish spots that were previously out of your casting range.

Why use tuning bearings?

In general, bearings installed in reels from the factory often do not have good rotational properties because a lot of grease and dust prevent smooth operation.

The AIR Ceramic Tuning Kit comes pre-oiled, the in-house Alchemy Oil from Hedgehog Studio ensures the perfect balance between oil and bearing.

The "Kattobi" bearings undergo quality control; they are checked by hand after assembly, and only bearings with excellent rotational performance are allowed to leave the facility.

Therefore, it is not necessary to clean or lubricate the bearings. The bearings can be used out-of-the-box.
