Of course the Curado I series are swept !! How stupid of me

Any of the newer Shimano straight reel handles will fit. Choose the one you like best and go from there. I like BNT4861 from the Curado I.

Remember that some models have contoured knobs for lefties.

Good man Dan. Restores one's faith in mankind !

Thanks for posting those photos. I'll be darned !! Seen that particular bearing on some of the older round baitcasters, but never on a low profile one, especially the Calais 200.

Would be interested to hear the comments from Bantam 1.

Terry.

Well done Dr Perf !!

Confusion reigns !! I have worked on many of these reels, and never seen anything that does not take the Shimano roller bearing.

Are you able to post a photo of your setup. It will educate me, and allow Bantam 1 to comment for all our benefit.

That ebay post has the wrong bearing for this reel. Yours sounds like it does too. The replacement part number is BNT2925, and it will fit. They might not look alike, yet they work. The newer part is anti-rust.

Terry,

I would take some pics but im currently deployed in afgahnistan( thats why i have the funds to buy reel parts). The basics of the reel are a set of 6.4 to 1 gears from a Abu premier that i had along with the carbon drag. It has a painted frame but i left the sideplates alone because i really like t...

The part number BNT2810 is the 3x7x3 spool bearing from under the cast control cap of the CTE50GT.

Once again we are jealous Mr. Canadian !!!!!!!!!

I am sure the clutch bar on all the Metanium's are the same.

Part number BNT4675 is the lefty one, available from https://www.southwesternparts.com/

Maybe someone else can confirm as I have not had my hands on the 2015 DC model.

The gear set is available from e-replacement parts. https://www.ereplacementparts.com/

You need BNT3547 drive gear, and BNT3847 pinion gear. They are different to the other models you mention.

One word to describe.........................SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTT !!
