Why do you Need bearings? I have found cleaning them is just as good. There is a YouTube video how.

unless the bearings are damaged in anyway, I don't think new bearings will help that reel spin much better.

Remove all the grease from the bearings and the spindle and use a low visc oil instead(sewing machine oil)

I've owned a raw 2 once and after getting rid of all the grease it spun awesome! 3 min plus! and great start up

Thats what i was getting at with the cleaning video. I Have 3 okumas (okumas are all the same other than the drag models) and the one that spins the best has cleaned factory bearings, and its well used vs the ones w Bocas

I upgraded to Boca a year ago. It was like 30 bucks. Worth it for me but to be honest I never REALLY tried to clean my old ones properly.

I have a raw2. I don't know what they put in the bearings but it does accumulate sand and dirt. One thing though is it's a really good reel. Clean it and put some sewing machine oil. it works better than brand new.
