Is ceramic bearing upgrade something specific to Avet? Because I would love to do something like that to the two I have now (not Avet) since all I ever do is ocean fishing.

I STILL have a really old (dad gave to me) Penn deep-sea reel that I will eventually get serviced and put back into use. It would be a perfect dropper reel if we ever get into anything over 100'
Bearing upgrades are common for all kinds of fishing reels, google "Boca Bearing Company" - they sell bearing sets for various makes/models and have been the go-to brand for fishing reel bearings for many years.
