Hedgehog Studio "Kattobi" Tuning Kit Ceramic Ball Bearings | Shimano | Abu Garcia 1040 & 1030 Air HD

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

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

Squeezes out the last bit of meters!

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

Why use tuning bearings? 

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

The AIR Ceramic Tuning Kit is pre-oiled, the in-house Alchemy Oil from Hedgehog Studio provides the perfect balance between oil and ball bearings.

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 ball bearings. The ball bearings can be used out-of-the-box.
