Thanks for clarifying Bantam, didn’t know there were so many details into the longevity process.. good to know.

Thanks for the detailed info!! Appreciate it and happy new year!

Hi,

Can someone confirm the exact bearing size for the bearing under the idle gear of the drive shaft? This bearing seems to be the common size for a lot of reels. Part #31 on the CH-50E schematic..

Thanks in advance!

No worries I appreciate the response as always brother

The reel is a JDM Aldebaran BFS 2022 spool bearing. Just curious if any US Shimano reels had a bearing that was equivalent in another reel.

Hey brother just wondering if Shimano has any of the 3x8x2.5 bearings in stock and if so what is the part number?

Thankyou!

Thankyou, appreciate the info!

Thanks I appreciate it brother

If you have a chance to find out please let me know, thanks again brother.

Just wanted to double check if the star drag and tension knob from a Curado 70 fit the new Curado 70mgl?

Thanks in advance

Recently sent in a 2020 metanium to get serviced due to a full season of great fishing. Received the reel back today and it it’s absolutely phenomenal. Buttery smooth and better than new!

Thanks for the great customer service Shimano !

Thanks for the update brother , be safe and take care. Hope all is well !

Is the walk in/ over the counter portion opened up yet Dan ?

Be safe Dan!

These are crazy times and hopefully It passes soon.

its more fun with the smaller reel Dan!
