Hello all, I have recently been in contact with Pinnacle customer service and I've since learned that it is possible to swap out higher grade bearing and other components and that there is actually a whole market out there that deals directly with such upgrades. My question then is this, does anyone either do this themselves or know of someone that does? Other than talking with Pinnacle this is the first time I've sought  any information on the topic. Due to the many knowledgeable anglers on here I figured it was a good place to start. If you have any information about upgrading reel components I would be more thankful for what ever you may have. Thanks to everyone in advance, I look forward to hearing from you.

Good luck and be safe....

Boca bearings and hawgtech are the two bearing companies most buy from. You can replace any bearing you want as long as you know the outer diameter, inner diameter, and depth, and can find a matching sized bearing. Generally, unless the bearing has gone bad, guys will only replace the spool bearings for performance gains. Even then, on some reels not all spool bearings are important to replace (on Pro qualifiers, the handle plate bearing doesn't contact the spool on a cast, only under load).

There is LOTS of info on this site about bearing upgrades, hit the search function hard and you should be able to find anything you want.

Contact DVT (Delaware Valley Tackle.)  They are a sponsor here and can help you with all your upgrade needs.

How do you find out the sizes. Micrometer?

Thanks to everyone
