The story

One upgrade made the biggest difference.

Kazemaki comes out of a reel tuning workshop in Berlin. For more than 10 years we have been opening, cleaning and tuning baitcasting reels under the name RL-Angelrollentuning. Reel after reel crossed the bench, and one upgrade made the biggest difference almost every time: the spool bearings.

So we built our own. Three bearing classes: Apex for maximum performance on reels built for 2 to 60 g, Edge as the all-rounder between performance and durability for 5 to 100 g, Core built to take a beating, for big baits from 8 to 200 g. Which one we recommend depends on what your reel is made for, not on the price.

German anglers know them from our shop angelrollentuning.de. Kazemaki brings the same bearings to anglers everywhere else.

How we work

Five things we do the same way every time.

  1. Sorted by reel Type in your reel and you get the bearing pair that fits. No measuring, no guesswork.
  2. Three classes Apex for maximum performance, Edge as the all-rounder, Core for big baits and hard use. Our pick follows what your reel is built for.
  3. Workshop background We service and tune reels every week. What we sell is what we fit ourselves.How to swap your spool bearings
  4. Bearings only No rods, no lures, no filler. Bearings, oil and the tools to fit them.
  5. Honest specs Ceramic bearings run a little louder than steel. We tell you things like that before you buy.

The name

The wind that winds up.

kaze means wind, maki means winding. The name is a nod to the Japanese BFS and tuning scene that shaped how we think about reels. The company behind it is German, and we say so openly: Kazemaki is a brand by RL Angelrollentuning, Germany.

What we do

One thing, done properly.

Kazemaki sells spool bearings for baitcasting reels, the oils that keep them running and the tools to change them. That is the whole range, and it stays that way until something else earns its place.

If your reel is not in our finder yet, tell us. We add it.

Every order is packed and shipped from our workshop in Berlin, to anglers across Europe and beyond. Rates and delivery times for your country show up at checkout.
