Ceramics really shine in smaller reels IMHO. I get bass guys wanting them so they can huck those 3/8oz or lighter lures farther. Do keep an eye on those bearings especially in the salt.

Try cleaning and relubing your JX bearings first. You might be surprised. I'm not to fond of the factory grease job on Avet's bearings but after a simple clean and relube job the life and performance on those bearings greatly improve. On trashed Avets that come across my workbench I send em to Avet and when they come back I go through the bearings myself.
