"I wanted to send a review on the bearing kit #FR-009C-OS that I just received from Boca. I installed these bearings in an ABU 6500C-3 reel that wasn't as responsive as I wanted it to be. After I made the change to these Boca's, the performance of the reel went from just "ok", to excellent with these ceramic bearings, and it is unbelievably smoother. Great product!! I have installed these bearings in 2 other reels that I own as well, and I am so glad that I found your product."

"My son is 10 yo and is racing in the BMX World Championships in Birmingham, England
later this month as a member of Team USA. I want to give him the great opportunity to succeed, so I ordered new wheels from Crupi BMX Products,
and Shawn over there referred me to you guys for ceramic bearings.
 
I talked to Larry last week to place an order for the bearings for William's bicycle. Larry was incredibly helpful and got me setup with
exactly everything I needed. Received the bearings and the first thing I did was have her spin the old bearings and then our new Boca Bearings.
The first words out of her mouth were, 'So why didn't you purchase these for his cruiser also?'!
 
So I was back on the phone to Larry this morning to order more bearings.
 
I am very excited for William to get the cast of his wrist(5 days before we leave for England!) so he can get on the track and feel the difference
that these bearings make. Every time we walk thru the garage we have to stop and spin the front wheel for effect:) "

Fishing kit purchased #FR-008C-OS LD

"To Boca Bearing. I have been building Model plane engines for a very long time!! I have built many glow engines.. I first learned about Boca Bearing at my old air field. A friend and I were talking about a .61 that was making noise. He said that you could buy a bearing kit from Boca Bearing Co. For about 11.00 bucks!! Really!! So I bought a new set from this new company. Their online site is unbeatable, The customer service is A+++ . They have a conversion calculator online as well.
When you buy a bearing kit from Boca expect the best!! They have very nice kit's for all types and size engines. As well as nice stickers. Wow you even get an instruction sheet. If you do not see it in the list, or by application, please call them: Teddy and Allen.

But a few weeks ago I had pulled out an old Enya 4C 120-R, I had put Boca Econo bearings in the engine about two years back..Kit #ENK-034 Econo Power.. They do offer High Performance, Stainless Steel, as well as ceramic bearings. I just took the engine out of the box from a long storage. Much to my surprise the bearings were as smooth as the day I had put them in the engine. The engine was used when I got it  but the factory bearings were ok and the engine did run.. I did notice that after putting Boca bearings in it, I gained all but 200 rpm's.. Not to bad I didn't even have to adjust the valves! But I have built so many different engines to date. I will only use Boca Bearings in any engine I ever build. They have bearings for everything.  Check out there site www.bocabearings.com    Hits.. Great valve. Great customer service and sales, Great bearing kits too. They also offer kits for your rc cars and trucks. So for all your Bearing needs. Please look into Boca Bearings. You will be glad you did!"

Truly, yours Ernie       

"Hi there! I just received my Orange Abec #7 and I think it's just flawless. This isn't the first time I've used Boca Bearings on my fishing reels. You guys in Florida are doing a great job in my opinion. Never had a product from Boca Bearings that I was not satisfied about it. Keep up the good work!"

Purchased kits #FR-008C-OS LD & #FR-029C-OS LD to upgrade his Quantum TE101 PT bearings and Shimano Curado 201E7 bearings

"I am one who demands high performance from my fishing equipment.  I pay particular attention to detail and go extra lengths to ensure my equipment is ready to perform when I need it most (on the water).  I’ve had all my reels “supertuned” and it did improve performance I was not satisfied and looked to what else I could do to get peak performance from my reels.  I came across various posts on Texas Fishing Forum about Boca Bearings Orange Seal.  I did a bit of research into ceramic and determined those where the one I was going to get. I was a bit skeptical at first but applied the free spin test.  Before the spool would spin for average of 8 seconds.  After replacing the bearings  Boca Bearings Orange Seal the spool would spin for 18 seconds.
I have since have placed another order to upgrade my bearings and plan to continue as my reel collection continues to build"

Purchased the kit #FR-008C- OS LD to upgrade Shimano Curado bearings

Note: Much easier to use with lures weighing 1/2 oz plus IMO.

"Should mention that my new Pflueger reels equipped with Boca bearings orange seal ceramic bearings are making life so much easier.  Greater casting distance and control are huge to me and I get a tremendous amount of both, out of the orange seal bearings."

"I was able to pick up a set of ceramic lightning yellow seal Boca Bearings for my Losi XXX SCT that I run in the stock class, and man these things are smooth.  Even after a day at the track they were still as smooth as when they were new.  When rebuilding my transmissions I used the lightning lube road grease power in the trans gears. I liked the fact that this grease is slick and  smooth but not as sticky as other products.  I also used the LBT Lightning lube Bearing soak and high speed oil on the bearings that were reused in some of my other cars."

Have received today March 19, 2012, my purchases dispatched from your company. The time frame for delivery from the date ordered seems quite reasonable to me. In saying that, I have already installed the bearings in my Chronarch CH100B and am still shaking my head in disbelief at how smooth they are straight out of the box and how long the spool continued to spin. VERY IMPRESSED! Can’t wait to try it and my Curado 300E with Boca Bearings in place.
