Where did you get those?

 

Got em used off another fishing forum, there off a shimano caenan reel. Took the bearings out of the stock core knobs, then stole the bearings out of my hawgtech knobs for the curado.

That actually looks pretty sweet, I'm considering that now

Also have 3 or 4 other reels that I just can't locate at the present time and a 2-piece 6'10'' MH Compre casting rod. I am excited to get the 4 new rods out soon, as I haven't even had time to use them yet. Also looking at a nice 2-piece stick from the MajorCraft Over7 line.
