    Re: Silence to begin fishing

    Excellent Solution :D I've also used some of the liquid rubber that you can purchase at many hardware stores and used it to coat the chain.

    Reel Bearings - 101 Class is in Session

    Introduction: Everything you wanted to know about fishing reel bearings, including how they are created, and what role they play in reel operation. Class is in session as bearing guru, ChuckE, explains the ins and outs of reel bearings in "Bearings 101."

    Background: Ball bearings and roller bearings are the most common types of anti-friction bearing found in today's modern fishing reels. However, that was not always the case, and early reel bearings were really nothing more than a guide or alignment sleeve which had a rotating component traveling through it (very similar to a sliding friction bearing). Frequent cleaning and lubrication was often required to maintain performance in these early reels, since the guides tended to wear quickly. So over time, reel manufacturers eventually adopted more robust designs, to reduce friction, corrosion and wear. Ball, roller, journal, needle, thrust and tapered bearings have all been used in reels over the past 100 years.
