Hedgehog ZRs will probably give you the most bang for the buck, or the orange seals from China like Im using in the bearing upgrade videos. They are only like 10 bucks or less for a pair.
they should have a list of what reels the bearings will work on. Generally all shimano spool bearings that dont have silent tune are all the same size and will work on shimanos that dont have silent tune
All free floating spool Daiwa's will have one on the spool need (require spool pin removers). X-Ship Shimano's and Free Floating Daiwa's will both have two on the spool total and 2 on the pinion total, 4 complete on spool/pinion. Does this Casitas have 3 or 4 total? I know there is an extra in there somewhere that wasn't necessary to change for casting performance.
Great job! If you don't mind, please show me what type of spool bearings I should buy to upgrade my reel.
go to aliexpress and find bearings for shimano
THE REEL TEST Thank you for helping. I hope you will have more videos showing how to use, cast, upgrade, or more about Shimano.
What bearings would you recommend to buy if I wanted to replace them in my Shimano Citica

THE REEL TEST Ok, thanks a lot. How do I know which bearings work or fit for my reel?

Shimano website says 4+1 roller bearings.
As I understand, you have to have a spool pin remover for Metanium MGL reel or 16 Antares DC.
Yeah, silent tune reels cant be changed out this easy unless you have a spool bearing removal tool.
Could you do this video for the daiwa tatula ct. Have no idea how to get the bearing out of the cast control knob side
you have to remove the handle side plate to get to it, theres videos out there showing how to do it
why is there al little pin that goes through the bearing and the spring in the spool tention?
Were can I buy a casitas reel I looked literally everywhere
Do you oil the bearings after upgrading them?
if you want to. they will be slower if you oil them
What bearing were these in the video? I want to upgrade them in my Casitas as well.
go to aliexpress and search shimano orange seal bearings
Can't seem to find them. Not orange seal.
So why would you want to replace the bearings in a shimano? What are the benefits? Btw great video keep it up man.
To clean them or put better ones in
I ordered bearings from aliexpress a while ago how long did it take your bearings to come?
almost a month it seems!
