Shimano Calcutta 50/51 Same As Shimano Conquest 50/51 Spool Question
I'd like to get an Avail shallow spool for my Calcutta 51 and need to know if the Conquest (JDM) is the same reel so same spool. Can anyone confirm this?

Negative, they are different spool designs. I tried using a TE spool (usdm conquest) in my calcutta 50 years ago and it wasn't compatible, the spool shaft was a different design and length, I event tried modifying the shaft but couldn't get it to work right. I ended up sourcing a calcutta 50 avail spool and that worked great but now those are pretty difficult to source.
