HedgeHog Air HD bearings?!

Post by silversix » Thu Dec 10, 2015 6:55 pm

So HH launched their HD version. Anyone tried them, what's the difference(s)? They're also the priciest of the bunch. Their description is in Japanese so no idea what's their new features if there's any.

Google chrome can automatically translate Japaneses for ya 8-)

In AIR ceramic bearings, which boasts the ultimate rotation performance,
further it became a strong HD (heavy duty) model a new! A combination of high precision ceramic ball and the next generation of anti-rust metal HRCB, we were allowed to both the rotation performance and anti-rust and durability performance of the highest class of surprise. Until jigging of large far-throw Salt Water bait finesse-heavyweight lure, fully compatible with all fishing style. All-rounder that is a high rotation rust bearings. ※ "AIR bearing" is a registered trademark of HEDGEHOG STUDIO.

I guess Air AR (anti rust) would have confused the crap out of people.

AR ( all round as opposed to anti rust ) confused the crap out of me until until the term " all round" was brought up...then the lack of an a or ' rounded out my initial confusion. :shock: But no more than reading any typical in depth Japaneese translation regarding fishing gear.

So these are pretty much a better version of Boca OS 7? Already tried the Air and Air BFS, both amazing. ordered a pair of Bocas during cyber Monday since they were discounted by 35%, should receive them next week.

And added durability with big, heavy baits to prevent damage that may happen with the standard AIR bearings.

If you can't resist buying tackle, stop resisting.

That's a good question, the Air HD is honestly the quietest ceramic bearings I've ever tried. Granted I've only tried those and bocas...
