What we call tricked out up here with abec 7 bearings and new drag washers is nothing compared to what is available for the ABU reels from places like Hatteras Jack. They make up up whole new sideplates that bolt on with magnetic casting controls with micro adjustments. They retrofit speed bushings and they have ceramic bearings sometimes.
Anyway , yes for normal stuff like you here about in the nrth you can get at M+D but for the super exotic stuff there are specialty places. I have dealth with Ryan at Hatteras Jacks before and he's very good. Very expert advice and reasonable prices.
