Here is some info on the cardinal 300 series. It has seven bearings:
The optimum balance of rugged durability and advanced design, the redesigned 300 series is loaded with features typically found on more expensive reels. The advanced drive system is powered by high-performance gearing for precise gear mesh, smoothness and durability. The graphite frame is engineered for high strength without excessive weight. The exclusive advanced oscillation system lays line even and precisely across the spool for effortless, tangle-free casts. Plus, an oversized line roller reduces line twist. The multidisc drag system produces a wide range of precision adjustments. Ever last spring bail system ensures fail-free reliability. Instant anti-reverse for solid hooksets. AccuBalanced rotor eliminates wobble.
Obviously, this is not in the same leage with something like a Stradic, but again, for the money, this is a great reel and at $34 on sale, you can afford to outfit a couple of rods with them.
