Product Description
Shimano Calcutta 400B / 401B Ceramic Hybrid Spool Bearing Kit (ABEC 7)
Give your classic "Gold Reel" a performance overhaul. The Calcutta 400B is a tank, but its factory bearings were designed decades ago. Our ABEC 7 Ceramic Hybrid kit reduces the rotational mass of the heavy 400-size spool, allowing it to start spinning with much less force—perfect for light-lure capability or maximizing distance with heavy swimbaits.
Kit Includes:
-
(2) 3x10x4mm Bearing: Fits the side plate support.
-
(1) 5x11x4mm Bearing: Fits the spool shaft (requires pin removal).
Why these are the best choice for a 400B:
-
Si3N4 Ceramic Balls: 58% lighter than steel, which is critical for overcoming the inertia of the large Calcutta spool.
-
Stainless Steel Races: High-grade 440C stainless ensures that your classic reel stays corrosion-free in saltwater.
-
Precision Tolerance: ABEC 7 rating ensures a smoother, quieter retrieve compared to standard industrial bearings.
