Bearings - HANDLE KNOB for Daiwa/Shimano

These bearings will fit ALL Daiwa and Shimano reels with size 1000 to 3000. I think it will fit bigger sizes as well but i have not confirmed that. You are buying a set of 2 bearings and one washer. The washer is NOT needed for installation and is provided completely out of courtesy , to help u remove free play IF you have free play in the knob. If you don't have free play, do NOT use the washer. The ABEC7 Hybrid-Ceramic bearings offer the lowest resistance and your knob will spin the longest (assuming u shimmed it properly). However on the water I don't think you will tell the difference between ABEC7 and ABEC3, as with the knob on both feel about the same. ABEC3 ceramics will DEFINITELY feel better than a STEEL bearing though! So much so that I stopped selling steel bearings for the knob. I have the size for the knob, but i use them for other applications, as i want the knob to spin free, and ceramics do the best job here (but not everywhere)
