New calcutta 101 jdm

Hi
Youre right there are spacer, but nowhere near metal or copper. It seems to be carbon. I guess  Something is wrong with the spool assembly.
Thx fritz

Youre right there are spacer, but nowhere near metal or copper. It seems to be carbon...

you're describing Spacer (B); YOUR REEL IS MISSING Spacer (A) !!!

look at the schematics for Calcutta 101B & 101GT (or ANY decent Shimano baitcaster):

• http://fish.shimano.com/publish/content/global_fish/en/us/index/customer_service0/Reel_Schematics.html
• Spacer (A) -- BNT0009 or BNT2224 -- is a polished, lightly oiled metal square
• Spacer (B) -- BNT1696 -- is just a hard rubber disk to cushion Spacer (A)  It's not supposed to touch the spool shaft, hence the noise & loss of distance

Hi,
We are talking about the calcutta d 101 and i have only got a japanese schematic  for  this one . The calcutta 201d uses the same construction, missing metal pads on the shaft ends as well .
Thx fritz

I'm completely befuddled, then.  US-model Calcutta 200D are the only available schematics & cast control is same as the older reels -- two spacers in the cap (BNT2224, BNT1696)

Hi
Yes there are carbon spacer. Could they create the noise?
Any calcutta d users around?
Thx fritz

1) Could you please take a look at a US-model Calcutta schematic that's readily available at fish.shimano.com (101B, 101GT, 200D...  doesn't matter -- same friction Cast Control in all of them).  What's different in your reel & schematic -- specifically, the few parts immediately inside the Cast Control knob?  I'm very curious.  As I understand, the part that comes in direct contact with the tip of the spool shaft & slows rotation through minute friction, must be hard, smooth and wear-resistant -- i.e., metal.  Maybe some kind of ceramic is the new "step up", but I can't fathom how it could be carbon.

2) I took a quick look on TackleTour -- they have quite a bit on USDM/JDM Calcutta D & their Forum is THE place for English-speaking JDM junkies...  couldn't find any mention of a change in Shimano's friction Cast Control & I would think something like that would be discussed ad nauseam.  BTW, you may want to ask there.

Hi,
I checked a scorpion xt and it has the same black pads installed. It seems to be a jdm thing then. But it doesnt make any noise, and my calcutta does. It has to be the spool assembly or the bearings.
I'll be back soon
Btw. Happy new year
