Orange Seal Fishing Reel Ceramic Bearings by Boca Bearings

Boca Bearing's much anticipated line of Orange Seal fishing reel ceramic bearings have finally arrived. Boca's Orange Seal bearings are the true secret weapon for serious fishing and distance casting. Orange Seal bearings bring cutting edge ceramic technology to the fishing industry with increased casting distance, substantially longer life and overall better performance. Ceramic hybrids are a combination of stainless steel races with ceramic balls. Ceramic balls are virtually frictionless, 1/3 lighter and several times harder than steel, as a result spool startup is faster and sustained spool speeds are much higher. The reduced friction allows some reels to free spool for up to 120 seconds! (PRWeb Sep 2, 2009)
