Bushings<br />

Vs. Bearings<br />

Remember earlier on I said that I am not a believer<br />

in the gospel of more bearings means better<br />

reel? <strong>The</strong> reason is because for certain reels<br />

more bearings may not be better. One example is<br />

saltwater reels. Certain parts in saltwater reels are<br />

more prone to getting wet with saltwater.<br />

Being corrosive in nature, saltwater can and will<br />

rust even expensive good quality stainless steel.<br />

For reasons of such some reel manufacturers use<br />

bushings instead of bearings for these parts and it<br />

makes sense maintenance wise.
