No problem.

I started doing this as a service and something to do with evening spare time instead of watching TV. It's like a puzzle for me, and I enjoy working with my hands, and seeing a finished product better than it was new.

There really is no money in it, as I have thousands of dollars in bearings "really that's not much", and then on top of that the tools, lubricants, cleaners, and some common spare parts like "worm gears, cogs, pawls, springs, clips, retainers, carbon fiber sheets, etc.".

I'm getting ready to place an order with Hedgehog for more bearings if you are interested in that brand? It's becoming my favorite. I had a few reels that I had already ran for a year, and then swapped out the factory bearings with Hedgehog, and I really like them. They are similar in price to Boca, and the other well known brands, but directly from Japan. I've not had any rejects yet.
