ball bearings on reels..

[codcatcher3000]

alrret i am not as some may so too technically minded.... so i am just seeking clarification.....when an ad says there is 14 ball bearings in the reel does this mean there are 14 balls in one bearing in the reel . or does it mean there are 14 ball bearings ?what could 3+1 bearing means ? cheers all

 

[boatangler33]

itll be 14 ballbearings and itll probably be 3:1 ratio not 3+1 ballbearing i think

The one's I've seen with 4 + 1 mean there's four bearings in the reel body and one in the roller for the bail arm.

Is it not 4 bearings + 1 anti-reverse bearing
