I cant say how they hold up to salt water but I have 3 older Curados (10-15 years) I use for red and trout with no corrosion issues

Common sense would have been replacing it with a new bearing of the same dimensions, but I don't believe in replacing anything in a vintage reel unless it's an original part coming from another identical reel

Improvements on the original include a polymeric body and aluminium front cover, and there are now five bearings in the engine room for smoother, stronger winding
