Ah, for fishing I don't think they're worth the expense and the hassle (they break easily).

I mean, $20 for just one ceramic bearing?

ABEC 7's are good enough for fishing IMO.

There are some guys who can hit 800 feet with stock Abec 3's. Controlling the spool speed to prevent over run is a greater concern than the rollability of the bearings!

For competitive distance casting, ceramic's a no-brainer.
