matt84 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 hi guys, can anyone tell me the best place to get a line roller bearing, its for a Shimano Biomaster c3000, brought in Singapore 2007 so older model which they did not have in Australia and schematics not in English. or someone who repairs reels in newcastle region. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkymalinky Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 G'day Matt, The best thing to do is to ask Shimano Australia. They're usually pretty good with service and should be able to find out the bearing dimensions and I'm sure they'd have them or be able to do the service. If you wanted to do the service yourself, I get all my bearings from Boca Bearings or Smooth Drag. (the latter have better prices but a limited range). Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt84 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yer normally service my own reels but don't have calipers to accurately measure the bearing, I will have a look at the sites n see what I can find, before I go through shimano.

slinkymalinky Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Not a problem Matt. I use a pair of digital calipers I picked up at Supercheap Auto for around $20. You'll spend more than that getting it serviced by someone else. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowflow Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 VBX bearings may be good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I am sure Freddy's Fishing World at Broadmeadow will be able to service it for you. ...mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt84 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 got the bearings from boca, reel goes good as new now, fixed a few other while i was at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkymalinky Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Good news, Matt. Replacing damaged or worn bearings is a great, quick and inexpensive way to greatly improve a favourite reel that isn't performing like it should.

Welster Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 No Problem with my Plaig line roller bearing after a year or so and I just bought the cheaper material from there range. For what was maybe $5 I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
