The Ultimate Jigging 45 mm Type II Knob is CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 aluminum and Type II anodized with a two-tone finish. A subtle cup indentation boosts grip and control. Stylish, durable, and lightweight at 43 g (≈1.5 oz). Designed in the USA, made in Taiwan.
When installed correctly, the fit is virtually play-free (~0.01 mm). Keep all parts clean and aligned, and follow the included diagram step by step.
