I'm not sure what you paid for your Boca bearings, but $30 for six abec7 bearings seemed cheap compared to what I have seen most going for. After listening to this I went home and bought six abec7 bearings for $30 from a Chinese seller. He went on about how much improved the casting on his reels were with the Abec7 bearings, and then informed me that all these bearings are bought from the same place (China) and you can save a bunch of money by skipping the middle man and just buying straight from China.

Upon meeting him he promptly pulled some reels out of his car and showed me their exceptionally long free spool spinning. However, what I would be most interested in is how much differently Boca Abec 7 bearings perform vs cheaper Chinese Abec 7 bearings?Įarlier this year I sold a Curado 200dhsv to a gentlemen on Craigslist. Granted, I haven't tested this myself to see if it is true or not. From what I have gathered (reading forums and asking around) is that they don't really make you cast farther as much as they allow you to cast the same distance with far less effort. I've heard plenty of arguments for and against Abec 7 bearings. If there's a better way to build a mouse trap I'm the one who's going to find it. There's only so many manufacturers and variables that I can throw into the mix before the results are self-defeating. Is it going to be more dependent on various other factors? Dunno. Yeah based on what I'd seen on YouTube - not to mention my short experience was that they may be some better, but at what cost for what gain? When I performed the suggestions, per Jeff the results were dramatic. I don't have a dog in this fight - except to find out best bang for the buck. Yes I'm going to clip out the dead time, but the casts measurements, and results will not be altered. You can alter facts but you can't alter uncut video.

That's exactly why I'm going to be spending several thousand dollars for a professional filming / editing crew to document the outcome. Problem is all I've seen and heard until now are rumors, speculation, and opinions. The entire process will be filmed.Ĭome on I know you have your thoughts - share them! Anything that you can think of to ensure that this experiment remains on a level playing field (no pun intended) - OK maybe a little pun intended, but I want this to be serious, fair and accurate as possible for all.īoca has been good enough to supply quite a few bearing for testing, but the end result is going to be the unvarnished truth.

What I'd greatly appreciate from any of you is your opinion(s), experience(s), and any other ideas that may keep this from becoming a finger pointing exercise. I've gained usage and filming permission from the local school board to use the football field. But when I arrive home the following week - assuming the environmental conditions are acceptable I'm going to let it rip.

And I have an early morning flight out Monday. Unfortunately this weekend was so windy that I wasn't going to consider it. My party package arrived on Friday with the remaining bearings. Bear in mind that was with a 3oz sinker on a 10000 spool. Call me crazy, but I consider that significant. So I went from a casting distance of 120-140 feet to somewhere near 900 feet. OK not really but I cast over the tops of 2 (BIG) trees 3 houses down the road. So I disassembled the 2 completed removed the seals, used alcohol in an ultrasonic cleaner for 30 minutes, cleaned the bearing insert, and let 'er rip. He also suggested running my bearings buck naked - no lube, and no seals. It outcast the Boca's by 20-40 feet! Holy $4!t! I spoke to Jeff at Boca, and we were both in agreement that the comparisons should be made by a single reel of each category. Noticeable improvement but that much money? I got a 3rd 10000CL that was like new - only 20+ years old with some pretty tarry grease in it. When I rebuilt my first 2 10000CL's, I used the ABEC7 Orange seals. So this isn't going to be forensically accurate, but it's going to be better than replacing bearings and spinning an empty spool. Line - mono / braid, as well as manufacturer. You can argue variables to the cows come home. Obviously with this discipline, there is no absolute science to the outcome. Problem is I'm one of these really un-American people who likes cold hard facts. I've watched YouTubes, ad nauseum showing reels with the bearing replaced with Boca's and the dramatic difference in free spool spin time.

I know I'm probably opening a can of worms here but all I've heard is how good, or how not so much better Boca's are from stock. I'll be doing 5 casts each with 4 different weights appropriate for the reel size.

I've been in extensive contact with them and have decided on 4 reel formats: 1 of my refurbished 10000CL's, a 7000 CS Pro Rocket, a Morrum M3600C, and a Revo STX-SHS. I'm going to conduct some rather intensive testing with Boca Orange Seal ABEC7 ceramic bearings vs.
