bearings?

[antony L]

anyone know where to buy the bearings u get in fixed spool reels?
just got the spinning gear out for a clean, and 1 of the reels was a bit stiff, when all comes to all the bearings seized, not a clue on the size of it, but any advice would be great

Probably cheaper to buy a new reel, pick up a canny one for the macky for about £20.00

Might be a long shot mate but you could try leaving the bearings in question soaked in a solvent overnight to get the sh*t out.
