Why would you install these Chinese ceramic hybrids that are noisy as hell when the originals that come with the reel are pretty much as good as it gets, and are perfectly silent? Talk about a waste of time and money. Upgrading bearings is only worth it for sub $150 reels, and even then, you grab something from hedgehog, ktf or zpi, not some aliexpress grade Bocas.
I have 4 of these Zillions and 1 HD model. These are one of the top reels Daiwa has ever slapped their name on!!!
Great reels
Are there any other stock bearings that would be worth replacing with ceramic if I wanted to use my zillion inshore?
are you sure is not 3x8x4 not 3x10x4?
Nope it’s 2, 3x10x4s
