FAQ
Does this bearing fit larger reel sizes beyond 2500?
It may fit larger sizes, but this has not been tested and is not guaranteed.

Yes, it fits all Daiwa and Shimano reels up to the specified size that have a plastic bushing under the spool.
Do I need to replace the bearing if I already have one in my Vanford?
No, the Vanford model comes without a bearing pre-installed, so this bearing is required for installation.
Abigail Randall –
Installed the bearing on my 2024 Airity ST and noticed a significant improvement in drag smoothness. The reel feels more responsive and the drag is much more consistent during casting and reeling.
Katherine Reid –
Fitted it to my 2020 Vanford and the drag performance is noticeably better. The bearing is well-made and the greasing keeps it running smoothly even after several hours of use.
Amy Graham –
Works well on my Luvias. The fit was easy and the bearing feels solid. A little harder to install than expected, but the result is smoother operation.
Brandon Kelly –
Great replacement for the missing bearing on my Vanford. The ABEC5 quality is evident in how smooth it runs. No issues so far after a few days of fishing.
