    I've got a bunch of them as well & love them. I just got a couple of BFS spools off of AliExpress (they weigh weigh 6.3 grams). I put 8# fluorocarbon line on one of them & installed that spool my Tatula 100 that I've got paired with a 7' ML Tatula jerkbait rod. I didn't change any bearings in that reel & I can throw a #5 Shad Rap a good 35-40 yards & an Arkie 220 crappie crankbait just shy of 50 yards. These reels are smooth & pretty lightweight...just a joy to fish with.
