 AIR HD Ceramic Bearings - Ceramic Balls & Highest Anti-Rust Performance - From 3 g to over 200 g, the AIR HD ceramic bearing is ideally suited for all fishing styles, from bait finesse to power game and jigging. The combination of high-precision ceramic balls and next-generation anti-rust metal HRCB combines amazing rotational performance with the strongest anti-rust and durability performance. This is the latest technology high-rotation anti-rust bearing produced by Japanese ceramic and new anti-rust material.  AIR Bearings - Small-diameter ceramic balls and integrally molded high-precision housings - The AIR Bearing is a super high-rotation bait finesse bearing that excels with lures from 1 g to 28 g. The small-diameter ceramic ball and high-strength integrally molded housing make it ideal for bait finesse fishing, but it is not only designed for bait finesse fishing. You can throw even 1oz class lures with the same feeling as normal bearings. Once you throw it, you will know the difference. Please experience the ultimate rotational performance of the AIR bearing.  AIR BFS Bearings - Small diameter stainless steel ball and aluminum housing - AIR BFS (Bait Finesse Special) specializes in the technical casting of lightweight lures from 1 g to 14 g. The micro ball, a feature of the AIR bearing, is made of high-precision stainless steel material for superior quietness. This is recommended for those who want to replace the bearing for a trial in their first bait finesse tuning. By replacing the bearing, you can immediately experience the difference in its potential. The user himself can replace the internal micro-bearing.  ZR Bearings - The original "jump" bearing! High-precision all stainless steel bearings - All-rounder bearing with super long throw specifications, covering lures from 5 g to over 100 g. The stable rotational performance achieved by the high-precision stainless steel provides a comfortable increase in casting distance. The casting feeling is better than ordinary ceramic bearings despite its reasonable price. HEDGEHOG STUDIO is proud of its all-stainless steel bearings. The front side of the bearing is an open type, while the back side is a shielded type for improved maintenance performance.  ZHi Bearings - Next Generation Material HRCB Anti-Rust Bearings - Durable enough for jigging over 100 g. The anti-rust performance of HRCB bearings is ten times higher than that of conventional stainless steel bearings. The basic rotational performance is equivalent to ZR but with the added rustproofing performance of a salt-compatible bearing. This all-purpose bearing can withstand harsh conditions such as long casts from shore, including surf and rocky shores, and deep jigging. The bearing is shielded on both sides to prevent dust and seawater from entering the bearing.  * When fully casting a lure weighing 20 g 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 20 g, 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 20 g → AIR Ceramic Bearing Lure weighing more than 20 g 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. "Kattobi" Spool Bearing Kit FAQ Q. Is it necessary to clean HEDGEHOG STUDIO bearings before attaching to reel? A. No, it isn't. Generally, bearings available on the market for industrial use and hobbies have no good rotation very often, because relatively hard grease is often clogged up in the inside of the bearing and some dust get inside of the bearing. Haven't you purchased the bearing of such low-priced editions, washed the them yourself and used them up to now? Have you ever experienced to heard some noise or felt some rumbling from bearings after cleaning them thoroughly? You never get good results no matter how many times it its washed, as long as the accuracy of bearing is bad. All bearings of HEDGEHOG STUDIO are tuned up and coordinated "Just for fishing reels". All the bearings are selected one by one by our craftsman's hand after assembly, and only the bearings with excellent rotation performance pass the checks. And they are filled up with the "Alchemy Oil" developed only for the bearing, and are shipped. Therefore, it is not necessary to clean or to lubricate oil of a different manufacturer since our bearing condition is the highest in performance when they arrive to you. You will be able to get the best performance by just opening the package of bearings and setting them to your reel. Q. What is the rating of your (HEDGEHOG STUDIO’s) bearing in the ABEC (Annular Bearing Engineers' Committee) scale? A. It is the question we get most often from overseas customers. Because the bearings of HEDGEHOG STUDIO are Japanese-made products developed exclusively for reels, it is not applied to the ABEC scale which is an American Standard. However, the performance is the "non-standard" quality and precision which exceeds ABEC9 rating. Q. Is it easy to replace the bearing? A. Yes, it comes with installation instructions in the kit, so you can easily replace the bearings the first time. Moreover, the bearing currently attached in the inner part of the spool shaft is also replaceable by using the spool bearing remover of HEDGEHOG STUDIO. Q. Does it cause backlash easily because the spool becomes high rotation? A. On the contrary, it causes backlash less. Casting softly gives rise to sufficient rotational force so that you can make a cast by utilizing the bending of the rod. Especially, among professional anglers on tours day after day, There is also much evaluation of being very hard to get tired since useless energy is not nesesarry for casting, and becoming easy to carry out thier control. However, each person has its own habit in their cast. For anglers who had cast with all thier might up to now, we suggest setting up the brake somewhat stonger at the bebinning then gradually getting used to it. Q. Is oil lubrication necessary for bearing? A. Except for some bearings, HEDGEHOG STUDIO's bearings are lubricated with proper amount of Alchemy Oil and then shipped . (* Alchemy Oil Ultra Light is used for baitcast reels.) After the purchase, when attaching bearing to reel at first, there is neither necessity for degreasing nor oil lubrication. However, since the oil film becomes gradually weak after going fishing several times, in that case please put one drop of the Alchemy oil into the bearing, so that the initial performance will last much longer. Alchemy Oil is a special oil for ultra-low friction. When lubricated by mixed with a lot of frictional resistance oil of others, there is a fear that bringing down the initial performance. We recommend lubrication of Alchemy Oil. |

[ZPI] ZPI's rust-resistant SiCBB bearings use ceramic balls, which are lighter, harder, and smoother than traditional steel bearings. This reduces the time from rotation start-up to peak speed and enhances maximum rotation, increasing initial lure speed and casting distance. Additionally, their low rotational inertia allows for a broader range of brake settings. https://www.hedgehog-studio.co.jp/product/3498 |
