Is trout minnowing your thing? If so, we have the bearings for you. These were a special order from NMB and fit the '22 Aldebaran BFS as well as the '23 Calcutta Conquest BFS.

The thicker inner race presents another layer of durability for these larger more feisty fish. Sold in pairs.

New blog post today. Enjoy!

This is a question I ask myself as I fish with my Shimano Calcutta Conquest SE.  While I love my Ambassaduer 2500Cs, this Conquest SE has found a special place in my heart.  It’s quite capable across the spectrum, even in factory form.  While the spool weighs a whole 15g,

These are the NMB stainless bearings we carry in action. Each one is prepped prior to shipment at no additional cost. Here they are on an Ambassadeur 6500CT owned by Andrew Nielsen.
