Re: Calcutta 50xt Brake Puck
I was hoping to buy one for another model that would fit the Calcutta versus modifying my brakes.

Calcutta 50xt Brake Puck
Does anyone know if there is a brake puck for the Calcutta 50xt that I can use from another shimano baitcaster, a 4 brake or possibly 2 brake model that is lightweight for bfs? An Ali express or Japan tackle or Hedgehog studios model would be great.
Thank you
Thank you

Re: Bfs casts........... and a trout magnet
So I see the recommendation of the Tsurinoya Ares but after looking on Ali Express I cannot seem to find the Ares anymore. Am I missing it or did Tsurinoya discontinue or peplace that model?

Re: Shimano Calcutta 51
slazmo- which 4 puck do I choose? I was looking at the ones on hedgehog studios and did not see an exact compatibility, but I assume one of those listed on that website would work. I am now extremely interested in this mod .

Re: Shimano Calcutta 51
Unfortunately all the spool mods suggested here are for the Calcutta Conquest 50 and do not work with the Calcutta 50b or 50xt series. I have been looking for quite a while for a spool for my 50xt and there seemingly has not been a shallow spool in production for it for many years. There has occasio...

Bfs casts........... and a trout magnet
I have been reading about bfs and trout magnets, but I for the life of me cannot figure out how to accurately cast them is a small stream setting with even the “best of gear” ie. Calcutta conquest bfs+ Avail shallow spool and magnets+ 4’6” Chineseium fiberglass rod rated for 1-5grams+ 4lb dia braid....

Re: Shimano Calcutta 50XT Avail Spool
Thanks anyway for looking, I appreciate it. And thanks for being thorough. Maybe somewhere out there someone knows someone who knows someone from ali express or avail or ktf and can convince them to make one.

Re: Shimano Calcutta 50XT Avail Spool
Unfortunately that is for the conquest 50/51 it does not fit the Calcutta 50XT the spool shaft is too short. I think I’ve looked at those ones but so far from Ali express they only have produced spools for the Conquest series of Calcutta’s, not the everyday run of the mill Calcutta’s the B, D, and t...

Shimano Calcutta 50XT Avail Spool
I have been on a quest for a little while to source a reasonably priced Avail shallow spool for the Calcutta 50 xt. Would anyone out there know of somewhere I could find one? I am also not opposed to using a ali express spool, but from what I’ve found they only produce spools for the conquest bfs, i...

Re: BFS Spool For Calcutta 50XT
Unfortunately that spool does not fit the Calcutta 50 xt, the spool shaft is a long shaft on the 50xt. That spool only goes on a Calcutta conquest reel.
