The one under the cast control spins when the spool is spinning, not sure about the pinion. I think the bearing in the pinion only comes in contact when the reel is under load.

I deleted my own post oops

but the one Im thinking is the one under the handle that is 8x12x3.5 that need to be os7 or can that be just say abec5SS? I looked and its part#83 I believe

That bearing can be abec1 if you want. If you upgrade it and the pinion bearing, you might be able to freespin the handle for 10 seconds, but out on the water it wouldn't aid in performance at all. It's only working at slow speeds, far slower than any bearing is capable.

Thanks for the helps guys

3 os7 for spool found kit-http://www.bocabearings.com/productdetail.aspx?ItemID=24113

1 abec5 under handle

6 abec3 for knobs & worm shaft

The one under the handle is fine stock and you only need 4 for the knobs and worm gear. The rating won't affect them.

aren't ABECs normally only useful if you throw heavier lures or lighter lures?  

The ABEC scale is an industry accepted standard for the tolerances of a ball bearing. It was developed by the Annular Bearing Engineering Committee (ABEC)

All bearings are ABEC, whether or not they are 3, 5, 7, 9 tell the tolerances, and actually have nothing to do with lure weights..

 

Good Luck & Tight Lines!  :fishing1:

I just went with the cheapest I could find. They were from a place that's sells bearings for rc cars. I paid less the $6 for the 4 bearings.

ordered them today.... So I think I f'd myself. I remember you saying 5 or 6 bucks didn't remember if it was each or all 4... Called boca and guy was like 8 something I for stainless abec 5s non ceramic told him I wanted cheaper end of the spectrum cuz they're not for spool. Come to find out I paid 8 per bearing. So I get home re read your post above and threw up in my mouth a little bit. So I may end up putting these in my Chronarch handles and the chronarch bearings put em in my curados. ... A day in the life I swear..... Can u give me link for ones you bought so I can order me now. Not paying another 30 something lol

Yeah all 4 for $6. The abec ratings are for tolerances of the bearings. Any bearing would of been just fine. No need for abec 5.

Yup those are what I used. You'll need a few shims to get out the play and have the knobs just right. 4x7x.5

.5 or 2.5 typo?

4x7x2.5, probably a typo. Boca has 10 packs of econo bearings that do just fine as well. Look on the net for coupons, save some cash that way too.

You will need .5 shims to get rid of any wiggle in the knobs. It could take none or it could take 2-3

Sorry to thread necro, but I was looking into upgrading my Tatula Type R and there's good info in this thread but it's a little jumbled.

 

My TL;DR version

Popular (pricey but good/overkill?) bearing sites

https://www.hedgehog-studio.co.jp/

https://www.bocabearings.com/products/bearing-applications/fishing-reel-bearings?ProductType=2&ItemMakes=DAIWA

 

I can't say how good the bocas or hedgehogs are, but the price scared me away so I tried these and am the free spin pretty well. It's winter so I haven't gotten a chance to cast yet though so time will tell.

Bearing sizes

Brake side plate: 3x8x4

Handle side plate: 3x10x4

Worm shaft: 4x7x2.5 (x2)

Handle knobs: 4x7x2.5 (x2, comes stock with a bearing and plastic bushing per knob so you replace both plastic bushings)
