Newell parts?

penn 140L squidder bearings are the same as the newell bearings,too. I have every model dating back to the original "p" series and the penn bearings fit them and are of much higher quality. MikeCC might even have ceramics for the newells, too. He just put a set in my abu7000 and the reel is awesome now. I think, but am not entirely sure, that the abu bearings are the same size as the newells.

real men fish with handlines.

Are u sure the bearings are the same size?
I need a bearing for a 235.
I thought it was much smaller than the 140L bearings. But I'll check.

Yes, the squidder and newell bearings are the same. When I purchase replacements, I specify squidder bearings. The newell bearings are garbage, especially the ones that came in the "S" series reels.They(newell) may have begun using a different and better bearing with the newly reintroduced "P" series, but I can't confirm it.

I have the 235. Man, that drag is horrible from Newell.

I swapped out drags to smoothie, and like Mike said the smooth drag was labled 500 Penn. I like the HT drag as well.

I had one bearing rust out and got replacements from Newell. Their number is 818-240-9652.
