Fishing reels have developed over the years to become lighter, stronger, smoother and more reliable. Bearings play a large part in this development. Better steel, closer tolerances, more effective lubricants and automated assembly mean that high precision fishing reel bearings are more affordable than ever. Most reels use ball bearings from one or two bearings to over ten in the spools, worm gears and handles of high-end reels.

Reducing rolling resistance and conserving energy has been FreeRun hallmark. FreeRun have developed a full range of aftermarket fishing reel bearings for all the leading reel manufacturers including Shimano, Daiwa, Penn, Abu Garcia and many more.

FreeRun stainless steel fishing reel bearings are available open or with stainless steel shields. The grease lubricated, shielded bearings can be supplied with only one shield, if required, for easier cleaning and relubrication.  

FreeRun bearing processing facility allows to offer fishing reel bearings with specialist lubricants such as salt water resistant or fully waterproof greases for more challenging environments. Welcome to FreeRun  for your satisfactory bearings!
