I knew you’d be able to give me what I needed to make a decision.
Now I need to order about eight kits .
Might save this for a winter project.

What about handle bearings ?
All my reels have them. Many I did myself but the last few I have ordered came with them. It makes a big difference in the feel. I recently sold two reels to a prominent guide out here. He had never realized just how smooth a reel could be. I noticed on a recent Cole and J video that the guide let them use his outfit. Which was an Abu Garcia Theta that I had sold him and a Major Craft Days rod that I had told him he should get. I noticed when J started fishing with that setup she didn’t put it down. This can be a curse when one starts using better gear. You just don’t want to go back to what you were using. At least I don’t. Bail-roller vs ball bearing
