earings: Part 1
Bearings, one of the more important factors a
lot of anglers use to consider how good a reel is. I
have overheard without intentions of eavesdropping
that this reel is better because it has more
bearings than the other one; or you should get
this reel because it has got more bearings.
What Are Bearings?
So, what are bearings? Bearings are in general
little things that could be shaped like balls or
cylinders that helps to reduce friction between
parts. In general that is what bearings really are
but then why are they so important that anglers
use them as a means of judging how good a reel
is?
