What is in the kits and why

Spool bearing pin remover €7,00 €24,95

On many baitcasters one spool bearing sits behind a small pin in the spool shaft. This tool pushes the pin out cleanly. With pliers it is easy to slip and scratch the spool. Not every reel has a pin. Exact Fit knows yours and only adds the tool if you need it.

Glitch Oil High spec bearing oil €20,00 €32,95

A thin bearing oil from Japan, made for spool bearings. Apex and Edge ship dry and can be fished like that. One drop per bearing makes them run quieter and last longer. Core comes pre-lubricated and needs none.

Baitcaster reel tool kit €32,00 €49,95

The tools we use on the bench, in one case: pin remover, pick tool, lock nut wrench, screwdriver with bits, hex key, bearing check tool and precision tweezers. For anyone who wants to service the whole reel, not just swap two bearings.

Casting distance

Same cast. Up to 30 % further.

Worn or sluggish spool bearings slow the spool down while the lure is still in the air. Ours let it start earlier and keep running, so the lure carries further.

+30 %
  • Stock bearingsThe spool slows down early and the lure lands short.
  • Kazemaki bearingsUp to 30 % more distance with the same cast. Out where the big one can be waiting.

How much you gain depends on your reel, your lure and your cast.

How it works

From box to water in three steps.

  1. Type your reel The model name, the number on the reel or the code from the box. We know the variants.
  2. Pick your class You get the exact spool bearing sizes for your reel, with our pick marked. The kit is added in one tap.
  3. Swap in minutes Two bearings, a few minutes of work. If your reel has a spool pin, the pin remover in the kit gets the old bearing out without damage.How to swap your spool bearings
