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, in the Calcutta family.
Thank you, Daniel
*All that being said I already do have a conquest bfs, I just wanted to finish my 50 xt.

AMO has a spool on Aliexpress. It requires a magnetic conversion they also sell. Looks to be super shallow though.

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 the older XT series.

They come with a spool shaft extension. Same with the Alde spool. The installation pics in the link show the installation of the short shaft. Basically like a Daiwa stubby shaft. You can see it in the pic below. Not sure if it fits a Calcutta 50XT. Not sure what the differences are between the two. Do Calcutta Conquest 50 and Calcutta 50XT take different Avail spools? If they do then there is our answer.Daltontribe wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 10:15 amUnfortunately that is for the conquest 50/51 it does not fit the Calcutta 50XT the spool shaft is too short.

Yes Avail has different spools for Conquest 50 and Calcutta 50XT. Not going to work.

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.

Try a WTB thread on the classifieds. That's what I did when I wanted a Yumeya spool for my Scorpion 1000XT and didn't like Ebay prices.Daltontribe wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 3:33 pmThanks anyway for looking, I appreciate it.
