You will find that most reel companies place ball bearings at several locations within a reel. Where there are rotating parts in contact with one another you can find ball bearings. The number can range from three to as many as eleven. There are spool, clutch, knob and frame bearings for example. 

Most reels today, particularly high grade reels whether spinning or baitcasting, use precision, stainless steel "radial ball bearings". However, more and more solid and ceramic coated bearings are making the scene. The radial ball bearing units we're talking about consist of an inner and outer ring within which is a cage, made of plastic or steel, containing a number of precision balls. The cage functions to keep the balls separated. These fishing reel bearing units are usually of deep-groove construction which accommodates both radial and axial loads common with fishing reels.
