Fishing Reel Bearing Kits to suit Penn Slammer IV 5500 / 6500 / 6500HS Fishing Reels. These reels have 10 Ball Bearings. To Purchase from this listing, Select Bearing type either Stainless Steel or Ceramic Hybrid.

Please note: Our Ceramic Fishing Reel Bearings are supplied without lubricant, allowing you to choose your preferred oil. We offer fishing reel bearing oil ideal for ceramic bearings, as well as a range of greases for fishing reels:

• Fishing Reel Bearing Oil For bearings and reel components, Main shaft through pinion gear and all pivot/rotating points on a reel.
• Barrier Grease For sealing reel frames, O-rings, and surfaces to prevent water contact and corrosion.
• Light Sticky Grease For Main/Pinion gears on finesse/light spinning reels, baitcasters, and jigging reels.
• Heavy Sticky Grease For Main/Pinion gears on medium/large spin, overhead, and game reels.

Stainless Steel Bearings: Manufactured to ABEC 7 specifications. Designed for corrosion resistance with Stainless Steel Balls, Stainless Steel Retainer/Cage, and Contactless Metal Shields.

Ceramic Hybrid Bearings: Manufactured to ABEC 7 specifications. Built for corrosion resistance with Si3N4 Ceramic Balls, Stainless Steel Retainer/Cage and Rubber Seals.

Bearing Materials

• 440 Grade Stainless Steel Balls
  • Excellent corrosion resistance to water, saltwater, and many chemicals
  • Suitable for temperatures up to 500°C and cryogenic applications down to -250°C
  • Perfect for seawater, salt spray, and some acids/alkalis.
• Silicon Nitride Ceramic Balls (Si3N4)
  • Very good corrosion resistance to water, salt, and chemicals
  • High-temperature performance up to 1,000°C
  • Non-magnetic, electrically insulated, and lighter than steel balls
  • Low heat expansion reduces contraction/expansion during temperature changes
  • Ceramic bearings run 30-40% faster than steel bearings with proper lubrication, offering enhanced durability and reliability.
• PTFE Heat Resistant Rubber Seals
  • Excellent corrosion resistance and performance up to 260°C
  • Provides effective sealing against dust and moisture while retaining lubricant.
• Contactless Metal Shields
  • Prevents larger particles from entering and retains grease
  • Allows higher RPMs without increasing torque.
• Bearing Retainer/Cage
  • Stainless Steel Crown Retainer ensures even ball spacing, higher speeds, and grease retention.
