Spinning spool bearing support?

Post by DEA » Sat Nov 24, 2018 10:58 pm

Hi fellas, can you please the benefit(s) of a spool support bearing/bushing as applied to spinning reels?

Does the size of the bearing/bushing matter?

For example, my Stradic 4000FA had a support bushing which I replaced with a bearing.

The bearing/bushing is roughly the diameter of a dime.

I looked at a Daiwa Fuego 4000LT and it has a bearing but it's only as big as a handle bearing.

So what am I gaining and/or loosing?

Thanks and Happy Holidays!
