Three classes. Which one is yours?
Our pick follows what your reel is built for.
- Apex
Maximum performance. The best bearings we make for reels built for light lures.
- 2 to 60 g
- ABEC 9
- S30 ceramic
- Edge
The all-rounder. Right between performance and durability, for most bass, zander and pike setups.
- 5 to 100 g
- ABEC 9
- S25 hybrid ceramic
- Core
Built to take a beating. Full stainless and shielded, made for big bait anglers and hard daily use.
- 8 to 200 g
- ABEC 5
- Stainless steel
Lure weight is a recommendation, not a load limit
The ranges show what we recommend each class for, based on what your reel is built for. The load capacity of the bearings goes far beyond that: Apex handles up to 150 g, Edge over 250 g, Core over 500 g.
Your reel sets the limit
How much load a reel can take is decided by the reel itself: spool, gears, drag and body. The bearings play a minor part. The right bearings help you cast lighter lures further, but they do not raise the load capacity of your reel.
