I can't seem to find these for under $500. Any tips on where to look?

Yup about where I am at as well, very elusive and spendy :cry:

Remind me, is this the spool that turns a standard conquest 50/51 into the "shallow spool special" model? I have one of those, i bought back in 2015 for a project which never materialized.

Thanks,
Andrew

The model is Calcutta conquest 50xt and yes that's my goal. If you're not using it, and it's for this model I'd be happy to take it off your hands.

Yeah it’s been 5 years since I put research into it but I’m 99% sure this is the spool you’re looking for. 100% sure this is the spool needed to mimic the “shallow spool special”. Full disclosure I bought it from a member here but never mounted it. It should be good to go, but am willing to work with you to make sure your happy. Did you end up purchasing a EG TKIC-65mlst? I have one of those too which I could let go.

Is that the black Briar rod?

If so, Yes I did earlier today!

But if it isnt I'd take a look. Still interested in the spool either way.

Thanks again
