I would like to get your thoughts on ceramic bearings for baitcasters, especially if you have an opinion whether using the recommended friction resistant high speed oils slows down the bearings vs leaving them dry. Puting a drop or two does help rotation noise. What I can find out is the high speed oils do not affect spool speed. For instance, you can not use Hot Sauce on ceramic bearings because it has a difference molecular affect on the bearings, thus slowing them down. From the research done on ceramic spool speed, the ceramic spool speed is around 10 times that of factory ball bearings. Thanks.
