Frequently asked questions about tuning the Shimano 17 Calcutta Conquest BFS

Which spool bearings fit the Shimano 17 Calcutta Conquest BFS?
The Shimano 17 Calcutta Conquest BFS uses spool bearings in 3x7x3 (both spool bearings the same size) (inner × outer × width in mm). You'll find matching tuning spool bearings in exactly this size on this page under the tuning parts.
Which bearing class do we recommend for the 17 Calcutta Conquest BFS?

The recommendation is based on how this reel is typically used.

The handle fitting of the Shimano 17 Calcutta Conquest BFS is 7x4 (wrench size × shaft diameter in mm). Every tuning handle with a 7x4 fitting fits directly. Tuning knobs in the sizes shown on this page fit the stock handle and our tuning handles.
