Apparently a lot of us fell for this product. Who knew so many people made spinners? I should have read the other reviews before placing my order but figured that even if they weren't great lures I could still use three per lure as weight bearings instead of being a star bearing. But I can't do that. I really can't believe only five of the 16 bearings in the pack are actually made to the size listed for 608 bearings which is said to be 22mm OD. When they have this ideal outside diameter, they fit snugly into the bait frame and stay in place during bait use without the need for glue to be applied. The rest is so loose that it falls out of the frame. This is without a doubt the worst batch of bearings you could ever buy. They claim to have ABEC9 accuracy, but obviously someone doesn't know what tolerances need to be met to get that rating. These bearings barely rotate for 5 seconds. An ABEC 9 quality bearing with stable weights in the spinner should spin freely for 3.5 to 6+ minutes. If the bearings are done right, there shouldn't be any friction in them. The sad part is I have 11 bearings that are absolutely useless and the ones that are decent need to be cleaned in acetone or mineral spirits for an hour or more to clean them enough to last at least 1 minute what that worst is. I've ever seen You can buy decent ceramic bearings from China that are 100 times better than these for the same price.
