#FR-009C-OS LD

  I wanted to send a review on the bearing kit # FR-009C-OS that I just recieved from Boca. I installed these bearings in an ABU 6500C-3 reel that wasn't as responsive as I wanted it to be. After I made the change to these Boca's, the performance of the reel went from just "ok", to excellent with these ceramic bearings, and it is unbelievably smoother. Great product!!.. I have installed these bearings in 2 other reels that I own as well, and I am so glad that I found your product.

  The bearings I ordered work perfectly. I'm impressed at how easy it was to find the right size bearings for my reel, even though there are no specs available for that particular model on your website. The costumer service agent who assisted me over email made it really easy to find exactly what I needed to get my reel back to 100%. I cant wait to load up the rest of my reels with Boca Bearings!

  #FR-009C-OS LD (4x10x4) do fit in the new AG C4 4600! They arrived yesterday, and were installing Immediately. As I expected, way less effort to cast the same as stock bearings, or improved distance (5-7 yards conservatively) if you "exert" yourself! I now have Boca OS for all my baitcasters (4 Shimano, 1 Abu)! These are easy to install, and the performance gains are immediate and rather dramatic (don't forget to re-adjust your brakes and thumb!).

  I wanted to tell you that it was a pleasure doing business with you guys. I just began rehabbing my fishing reels and thought I might give your product a go.
  
  I have fished all my life and had always sent my reals out for repairs/maintenance. But since I retired I have more time on my hands and so I decided to perform those services myself. So, I needed some guidance to do things beyond the superficial rinse off and drops of oil on my reels. I came across your product while watching YouTube fishing videos.
  
  I was impressed with the positive comments about Boca Bearings products, the ceramic bearings in particular. I decided to try your ABEC 7 ceramic bearings on one of my Abu Garcia 6600c4 bait caster reels.
  
  I didn't know much about how to change bearings in my reel so I called you guys for info. I was politely directed to your website to which I visited and found extremely helpful and informative.
  Armed with the right intel, I was able to successfully perform the removal of the old bearings and installation of your ABEC 7's. I was pleasantly surprised! What a difference! Thanks for great service, and great products. I have several other reels that will require the same treatment, which means I'll be back for more ABEC Bearings.Thanks again and keep up the good work!!

  Upgraded my AG 6500 CT CHROME ROCKET with ceramic orange seal abec 7 bearings. The difference was superficial. Especially in distance. Will order more from you guys. Thanks.

  Abu record  

  I installed these bearings in my abu garcia record 61 and I suggest you double check the bearing dimensions in your reel before ordering so you get the correct ones the first time. But holly smokes these bearings make a sweet casting reel sooooo much smoother! I cant recommend the abec 7 Orange seal bearings enough!

  Awesome Upgrade  

  Install took about 15 minutes. Cleaned my reel while I had it apart. Bearings fit perfectly. Seem to be better quality than the stainless steel ones that are factory. Took it lake after to practice casts. With little effort threw my line about 40 yards further with no hesitation. Feels better than before. Can’t wait to use at lake. Overall I am happy for now!!!!

  Smooth Bearings  

  I used these bearings to refurbish an Ambassadeur 6500 C4 reel. Wow, what a difference this made ing casting and retrieving. I was so impressed, that I'm going to replace the bearings in my other reels with these bearings.

  For my Abu garcia 6500 6600 and 6601  

  The reel was pretty smooth out the box.
  But now even smoother and bit noisier on hard cast but worth it. The sound is only noticeable because I know my gear so well.
  Hands down a great choice I made and the Salt hasn't done anything. But then again I wash my gear after a day out.
