Complete Ball Bearing Tuning Kit
for Shimano 24 Metanium DC
This complete ball bearing tuning kit is aimed at anglers who want to technically refine and fully optimise their Shimano 24 Metanium DC. It replaces all bearing positions, including worm shaft and pinion gear, where Shimano still fits plastic bushings from the factory.
The result is a smoother operation, a steady free spool, and a noticeably more even feel under load, with significantly reduced friction throughout the gearing.
Features & Benefits
- 11 ball bearings in total – every bearing position is covered
- Upgrade of worm shaft & pinion gear – plastic bushings are eliminated
- High-speed bearings – faster spool start and efficient power transfer
- Clean, controlled operation when casting and winding
- Less wear for long-lasting durability
Bearing Overview (11 pieces)
- 2× High-speed spool bearings – quick start and free free spool
- 1× Hybrid bearing on worm shaft – smooth feed instead of plastic friction
- 1× High-speed pinion gear bearing – easy running and better alignment
- 1× High-speed drive gear support bearing
- 2× Stainless steel drive gear support bearings
- 4× Stainless steel knob bearings – play-free and controlled
Total: 11 ball bearings – no bushings, no compromises.
Installation Notes
- Remove all original bearings and plastic bushings.
- Insert ball bearings exactly in position.
- Lightly oil and check function.
Tip: For DC reels, oil high-speed bearings only minimally to maintain optimal free spool.
Technical Highlights
- High-speed bearings – high rotational joy and quick start-up
- Hybrid bearing – stable, even worm shaft operation
- Stainless steel bearings – durable and suitable for everyday use
