Thought I heard them say about the Z bearing that the line spool pin had a special coating and that combined with the new polymer material bushing is what made it a no ball bearing reel.
So it won't be a just dropened in bearing?

The Concept Z did not take best in show as expected----LEWS DID IT 4th YEAR IN A ROW!
Cabelas has the Lews Super Dutys on sale for $129 (Reg $179). Lews is coming out with a newer version so they're on sale. Pretty much wrong on all accounts. Actually best in show was a stand up paddleboard....the Bote Rover. Best freshwater reel was a Shimano Curado K. Best saltwater reel was a Shimano Sustain. Lews did win the best rod/reel combo with their Mach Crush Speed Spool Combo. Well shoot me and call me dead---Why on earth would I compare a reel to a paddleboard?? Did a Lew's reel win a Best of Show category?? Yes it did so how was I wrong other than not specifically stating which category! But... It didn't win a "Best of Show" category. Lew's won "Best Combo".... but as stated above, Shimano won the reels categories. So I have no idea what you're talking about.
