i am looking to get a conquest 50s( right hand, shallow spool) but i do 98% of fishing in salt salt water.
so does 50s come with CRBB? if not, when i install CRBB into the reel( 11+1 BB, good time and money spend to change BBS), will the reel be absolutely saltwater fine?

Re: saltwater capacity of CQ50S
Since the Conquest 50s is not a US market reel, I'm going to chime in here...
I doubt the 50s comes with CRBBs since I do not believe the standard Conquest 50/51 comes with CRBBs. If I recall, only the 300 sized and up Conquest reels feature CRBBs which, in Shimano terminology is actually referred to as ARBs (CRBB is a Daiwa Term).
The line capacity of the 50s is 100yds of 6lb test. That will be the line capacity regardless of whether you choose to use the reel in fresh or saltwater, so only you can decide if that's going to be enough for your application.
