AIR HD Ceramic Bearing


"HD(Heavy Duty)" version of AIR ceramic bearing known for ultimate rotational performance!
The bearing is made up of a combination of high accuracy ceramic balls and rust resistant HRCB metal. Then it achieves the highest performance level of rotation and antirust effect.

It covers every type of fishing style such as "bait fineness", long casting with heavy lure, jigging at saltwater etc..

Thus this is all-round bearing with an excellent rotation & strong rust resistance.



* "AIR Bearing" is Designed & Trademark patent of HEDGEHOG STUDIO Co.,Ltd.



* When fully casting a lure weighing 20g or more, the maximum reachable distance is about the same for all bearings, but the AIR bearing series is easier to control at short distances such as pitching.
　(For lightweight lures weighing less than 20g, the AIR bearing series will increase the distance of a full cast compared to a regular bearing.)

* AIR BFS bearings are a cost-reduced version of AIR ceramic bearings.
It does not mean that AIR BFS bearings are more likely to produce greater distance when used in bait finesse than AIR ceramic bearings.
Even if only ultra-lightweight lures are used, the AIR ceramic bearing will provide superior total balance.

* If you want to use the highest performance bearing, choose the AIR Ceramic Series.
Lure weighing less than 20g → AIR Ceramic Bearing
Lure weighing more than 20g or used mostly in saltwater → AIR HD Ceramic Bearing

* The above recommended weights are for casting. Even heavier loads can be applied when not making full casts, such as jigging or offshore fishing.
(AIR Ceramic Bearing is recommended for offshore fishing when increasing the sinking speed of the trap is important, and AIR HD Ceramic Bearing is recommended for jigging main use.)

* All bearings can be used in saltwater, but the AIR HD ceramic bearing has the best corrosion resistance, followed by the ZHi bearing.
