Has anyone upgraded the bearings, in their reels? If so, is it worth the cost? Any information is appreciated.

Casting reel, sure. Spinning reel, no.

I put fancy bearings in an older Citica and it will bomb casts further than my newer Curados.

It makes a difference, but I don't know how necessary it is. I haven't done it do the 5 Curado Es that I fish with the majority of the time.

The Pfleuger would see improvement in smoothness on the retrieve with a Bocca ABEC7 main bearing. The Lew's would see better performance all around with Bocca ABEC 7 spool bearings. There is a special tool required to remove a pin to change one of the bearings. FYI I have this tool if you need assistance

Thanks, I do plan on replacing,bearings, when I can afford them. Going through a rough patch, hoping things will turn around soon. Just staying positive for now. Could only be a few weeks. I'll give you a pm. Size of bearings has me confused.
