Very handy Post.
That's a useful site to know.
~$90 for a full bearing set though is a bit steep! Wanted to have some spares, maybe I'll just get a spare reel at that price.

G'day mate, because these are discontinued models it's becoming an increasingly difficult and lengthy task, http://www.fishermansheadquarters.com/Penn_reel_parts.htm have stocks in conjunction with Penn USA and you may have some luck there. Otherwise you can pull them out and measure the O.D, I.D and Tthickness with a set of veniers and order the stainless sheilded (or ceramics if you want, expensive) bearings from either http://www.vxb.com/ballbearings.html?gclid=CIKC45isq64CFQYdpAodgkezQA or http://www.bocabearings.com/bearing-info/bearing-ball-types .
