Sure thing, Rick. the boca bearing upgrade to either the abec 5 or abec 7 provides an excellent increase in spools speed, resulting in smoother, longer casts. The ceramic abec 7 bearings are more expensive ($30 a pair) but they are very slick and i consider them to be worth the price. Even the abec 5 stainless bearing ($15 a pair) are a great upgrade over stock bearings. As far as other upgrades go, there are endless tweaks available from low-mass spools and frames to carbon fiber handles with lightweight foam grips. But, for my money, the best and easiest upgrade is a spool bearing upgrade.
