Recently put ABEC 7 orange seal boca bearings in both my reels.

 

Nice reel, impressive spool time.

 

Got ABEC 7's from HawgTech on my 

two Chronarch 50e reels. Love 'em!

Thanks! I haven't got a chance to fish w/it yet (all water has been frozen over in my neck of the woods for weeks), but I can't wait to see how much my casting distance improves with lighter lures, with these bearings. (I'm no future teller but I have a feeling I'll be more than satisfied).

Made a huge difference for me with lighter lures.

I can throw weightless, wacky rigged Zoom Tiny

Flukes on my 50e/6'6"ML Carbonlite combo.

 

Not very far, granted, but I can cast 'em. I can 

pinpoint Zoom Finesse worms 30+ feet. So I am

*very* happy with the bearing upgrades.

I replaced the bearings in my Calais reels with Boca Orange Seal three years ago...made a noticeable difference in smoothness and casting distance.

Very cool.  I have a pair on the way for my Shimano Core.  The originals were good but after 7 years they have started to slow down.  I hope that they make an improvement.
