Product Description
Hardy 1410900 Axle Rear Ball Bearing – Fortuna X Series
Restore the silky-smooth rotation of your premium saltwater fly reel with the Hardy 1410900 Axle Rear Ball Bearing. This is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement bearing, specifically engineered for the high-performance Hardy Fortuna X (FX) series.
In high-end sealed drag reels like the Fortuna X, the rear axle bearing is critical for stabilizing the spool under extreme loads. Over time, even sealed bearings can develop "noise" or roughness after years of fighting large pelagic species or exposure to fine saltwater grit. Replacing this bearing ensures your reel handles high-speed runs with the frictionless consistency you expect from Hardy.
