if you opted for the ceramics that is why they are noisy. Ceramic bearings are much nosier not sure if lubing them will help or not just make sure you use a lube safe for ceramic.

What is the difference between the Bocas and the ABEC 7 ceramic bearings that you can get from China for less than half the price? If they carry the same ABEC 7 rating, aren't they going to be pretty similar?

There are no bearing manufactures in USA, ABEC 7 are just that, regardless who you buy them from. BTW-why does anyone need bearings that can spin 10K+ in a fishing reel? Manufactures go to great extent to slow down spool spin. ABEC 3s are more than smooth/fast enough.. I believe most people hailing Boca bearings are just feeling the difference between worn bearings and new bearings.

Generally when I buy they will give a discount and send free stuff sometimes...plus I did order bearings one time and they took an extended time to get here and when I called they rushed me another set...shortly after the new set arrived, the first set arrived...I called them and asked where I should send the other set back to and they told me to just keep them...plus I like keeping money in the USA
