Let's pimp your baitcasting reels today with something really strong – the "Kattobi" Tuning Kit Ball Bearings. Perfect for all of you who want to cast not only far but also precisely!
Contents of the set: You get two high-precision ball bearings size 1030ZR (3mm x 6mm x 2.5mm). Don't worry if you've never dared to handle bearings before – an English manual is included that makes installation child’s play. And then? Head to the water and marvel at how far you can now cast!
Features:
-
HRCB Anti-Rust Bearings: These bearings are ten times more resistant to saltwater than conventional stainless steel bearings, meaning your reel lasts longer and performs better even in the toughest conditions.
-
Robust and Durable: The kit is perfect for demanding situations like long casting and deep jigging. With excellent durability, these bearings can easily handle jigging with weights over 100g.
-
Dust and Water Resistant: Thanks to double-sided shielding, neither dust nor saltwater penetrates the inside of the bearing, further improving 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 manual. Enjoy upgrading your reel without stress and complicated instructions.
HEDGEHOG STUDIO AIR Ball Bearings:
-
General: Under full load, all bearings achieve similar distances. However, the AIR series makes it easier to maintain control during shorter casts like pitching. For lighter lures under 20g, the AIR series significantly increases your casting distance.
-
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 top 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's robust, precise, and makes every cast an experience. Treat yourself to the upgrade your reel deserves!
Why use tuning bearings?
Generally, ball bearings installed in reels from the factory often do not have good rotation properties because a lot of grease and dust prevent smooth running.
The tuning kit is pre-oiled, the in-house Alchemy Oil from Hedgehog Studio ensures the perfect balance between oil and ball 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 factory.
Therefore, it is not necessary to clean or lubricate the ball bearings. The ball bearings can be used out-of-the-box.
