Super Tune a Reel: Zebco 733 Hawg

How to super tune your Zebco 733 Hawg (China) reel. I show you how to add ball bearings to the crank shaft and the nose making this a true 4 ball bearing reel. I have a limited number of bearing kits : https://www.etsy.com/listing/13134850...

Also, I show you how to replace the drag washers and install the Wedge, Bearing Retainer properly and adjust the gears for proper gear lash.

Includes instructions on replacing the bait alert too.

You can find schematics here:

Bearings for the super tune:
Nose bearing (1): Stainless Steel Ball Bearing VZ097-01
Crank Bearings (2): Stainless Steel Ball Bearing VZ030-01
Pinion Shaft Bearing (1): Stainless Steel Ball Bearing VZ017-01

Here are the generic bearing part number for the handle shaft:
Crank Bearings (2): Stainless Steel Ball Bearing SMR148-ZZ 8x14x4 mm

I have hunted around for a generic bearing for the Nose bearing, but cannot find one. It is a 6.3x10x4mm bearing if you can find one.

Zebco still lists parts for the 733 Platinum. Look in the Platinum reels for the 733PL. Many parts are interchangeable. However, the PL has a different type of anti reverse.
