I have a CU200 (not super free) and a couple of 200HDVS Curados. I was thinking about upgrading the bearings with ceramics. Other than the spool bearings, what else needs to be upgraded. Will the improved performance justify the costs? I never used the 200HDVS reels much because i was never impressed with their performance.
I have a CU100B that I upgraded with the Boca Abec5 kit, Carbontex drag, and CiticaG handle and drag star. The bearings and the drag made for a nicer performing reel to me, it was worth it.
