tinner66 Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Anybody know this part number? Thanks Quote
The Bassman Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 Are you talking about the flat pinned VBS on the Citica E and G? If so the only ones I know about are orange BNT 3843. Call Shimano. 877-577-0600. They'll help you. Quote
tinner66 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 These are the same shape as the pink and gray ones that come with the Citica "E" reel. Thanks Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted February 25, 2018 Super User Posted February 25, 2018 The color brakes on the old VBS system represent different brake weights. Smoke/Clear- Lightest Red/Pink- Lighter Green- Heavier Grey- Heaviest Not sure on the part numbers but you can call shimano and just ask for X color. 1 Quote
The Bassman Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 I'm a bit confused with the square description. The brakes mentioned above are cylindrical. What reel is this for? Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted February 25, 2018 Super User Posted February 25, 2018 I don't know either but he said same as Citica E so I just went /w that. Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted February 25, 2018 Super User Posted February 25, 2018 This place has the red and grey for Citica 200E cant find green https://www.ereplacementparts.com/shimano-ci200e-lowprofile-baitcasting-citica-parts-c-200301_200303_281556.html From the picture yeah they are short and squared off not like other taller round brake collars.

tinner66 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 lets try this As you can see they are not the common round ones.. The citica e comes with the pink ones on the spool and the heavier gray ones in the extra bag with the wrench. As stated above the green is in between the pink and gray as far as weight is concerned. What I was trying to figure out is what the part number of the green brakes are. These didn't come with a citica e but will work on the spool. Im guessing they came from a round reel. For example the corsair 200 uses the clear square brakes but the brakes are larger. I was hoping somebody has a reel that these green brakes came on the spool or as extras in the box. I then could look up the part number Thanks Quote

I was hoping somebody has a reel that uses these green brakes Thanks Those are the same ones that E series curados/citicas used. If I remember right (it's been a long time), the E series reels all came /w a small baggie /w the different colored brake blocks in them. I unfortunately just checked my box and do not have them anymore. I vaguely remember giving them away. However...I think this is what you are looking for: Quote
tinner66 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Posted February 25, 2018 Sorry the curado e uses round and citica e uses squared/oval. Two total different style brakes and will not interchange. Quote

Two total different style brakes and will not interchange. Odd. Guess I never noticed. Not sure if the Citica had green that came stock /w the reel. Green spares aren't listed on the schematics. Curados do have the green part # listed though. Neither of the 2 square green part numbers come up /w the citica being compatible. Guess you have 2 options as there are 2 part numbers for the squared green brake collars BNT3309 BNT2495 if you look up 3309 it says calcutta but I'm not sure if they are interchangeable. Just call shimano on monday and ask them which of those 2 fits. You can order them all over online for .99 a piece but I'm sure shimano has some in stock. That's all i got sir. Quote
