    Question spinning reel - bearing balls?

    Giddy ausfishers,

    I noticed those spinning reel labeled with numbers of bearing balls.
    Sorry it sound like I'm idiot to ask this question but I'm keen to know how it works.

    Hope anybody (tackle guru) can describe how it work, maybe a picture of them would be much appreciate.

    Anything that rotates can sit on a bearing. When they say ball bearing they don't mean a single steel ball they mean two circles and the same plain and axis (one smaller than the other sitting inside the bigger oen)with balls inbetween them like a wheel bearing. In simple terms the more bearings in a reel the smoother it should be. Since this is fairly common knowledge manufaacturors use this as a selling point and put heaps of sh!t bearings in cheap reels to make them sound better. A reel with fewer better quality bearings with outlast a reel with more crap ones.
