    I'm a dealer for Boca Bearing and sell to forum members for 10% off retail. ABEC5 Stainless Steel are $7.16 ea ($7.95 list). plus postage.

    Another thought: Have the reels been cleaned and lubed at least annually? If not, a deep cleaning and lube might accomplish your goal or maximize the results of a bearing upgrade. Those reels are also prime candidates for supertuning.
