Nebe,

I ordered it from Mike's Reel repair. Nice guys. I believe it is a zirconia (sp?) ceramic. Very dense, very hard, and very smooth. $5 usd. You will be stunned at change it makes. I also put in some of the new carbontex drags. So far, so good, but I have not really landed any huge fish with this set up yet.

The reel is set up with 65lb. power pro and and a 40lb. shocker. I think I have about 75-100 yards of 25lb. BG as a backing. I mostly use it on a xcra 13322-2.

I am using the penn synthetic oil for the bushings as well. Cast really well with no brake blocks and some good thumb. At night I sometimes put 1 small brake block on. It has turned into a real boob proof real. Good thing for me. I can even use her a night after a beer or two.
