bearing list - updated 9/14/2019

this is a list of all the bearings i have ever come across while working on reels.  it you service reels in a shop or as a hobby, print out this list and consider maintaining a minimum inventory of each of these sizes.  if you are working on a reel and you need a bearing, you an always go to penn, shimano, daiwa, okuma, etc., for a bearing specific to that reel.  you can also go to anyone of several places like boca or smooth drag and order them up.  just as a point of reference, i've listed metric and inch bearings by ID x OD x TH, then the boca bearings part #, then the ABEC rating, and then the boca bearings price.  if there is no abec number listed, then assume that it is ABEC-1.  all of the bearings are stainless steel.  the "ZZ" indicates that the bearing has stainless steel shields. 

ceramic bearings - you all probably know that i am not a big fan of ceramic bearings.  before you toss your stainless steel abec-5's, i would recommend cleaning your stainless bearings with carb cleaner and compressed air, then lube them with your performance grade lube of choice, and them see how they perform.  if the performance is not up to snuff, consider another bearing.  once you get your stainless steel abec-5's clean out and properly lubed, i think you will find them to be just as fast, and much quieter.

abec 7 bearings - sometimes you can have too much of a good thing, and tighter tolerances are not always good.  i consider that to be the case with abec-7 bearings.  i prefer the looser tolerances and lower prices of stainless steel abec-5 bearings.

avet bearings - special mention should be made here.  avet buys a very inexpensive bearing for their reels and passes on that savings to their customers.  bearings are generally $5 each.  that is good and, um, bad.  if you burn through bearings quickly, stick with avet bearings and save some money.  if you keep your reels well maintained, consider upgrading your bearings with something a little higher in quality.  the last time i ordered a dozen bearings from avet. every one of them had some damage to then.  i still have that bag for display purposes. 

here's the list.

I have started measuring bearings when I service my reels. Sometimes it’s a PITA trying to find bearing sizes online I hope this helps.

First up is my brothers Exceler 3000LT. Not so sure about this reel for saltwater. Absolutely no seals whatsoever. So will need careful maintenance if using in the salt.

Daiwa exceler EXLT3000D-C bearing sizes
Upper pinion support bearing      7*13*4mm     G46-7302
Lower pinion support bearing      5*8*2mm     H95-9601
Body side main gear support bearing     7*11*3mm     G52-2706
Side plate main gear support bearing      7*13*4mm     G46-7302
Oscillation gear support bearing      4*7*2.5mm     G46-9005
