Complete Line Roller Assembly, Titanium, 2-bearing (Shimano)
My old Vanford had some line roller noise that I couldn't get rid of. I cleaned it and oiled it 3 times but maybe some of the plastic inside had worn out, i just couldn't get rid of the noise. I tried this NOT TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE, but to get rid of the NOISE. Well worked very well, so i called the guys who make this and ordered some. It does have two bearings inside, while the Vanford family of reels has only one, and some plastics around it.
I did not notice ANY performance improvement compared to stock! In my opinion it would be STUPID STUPID to replace a good and silent stock line roller with this! Even if u have noise, try cleaning and oiling first!
BUT. If you, like me, can't get it to stop scratching, then this is a good resource, because this thing has NO PLASTIC! Very simple, straight forward, symmetric construction! And, yes, if u care about these things, you now have two bearings in the line roller.
I have to make a note that this thing is Chinese but looks like made in Japan. Packaging, instructions, FIT, everything is perfect! You can buy this with confidence.
SEE VERY LAST IMAGE for list of reels that it fits! Pretty much EVERYTHING.
