What's the point of a bearing instead of a bushing on a spinning reel spool?

Easier start up.

When you reel it? but the spool and the shaft doesnt even spin. Do you mean when you peel the drag and the spool spins?

It makes the drag smoother. It's worth doing, too if your reel is capable of accepting one.
