The Ultimate Jigging 40 mm Reel Knob is CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 aluminum and Type II anodized with a modern two-tone finish—stylish, lightweight, and built for saltwater use. When installed correctly, it delivers a precision fit with virtually no play (~0.01 mm).

⭕ Installation Tips
◉ Remove the factory knob. Reuse your original bearings/sleeves and follow the included diagram. Ensure all parts are clean, aligned, and spin smoothly.
◉ Shimano Stella (’04) SW4000, 5000 HG/PG → S Cup.
◉ Shimano Stella 6000, 8000 FA (U.S.) → S Cup.
◉ Shimano TwinPower 4000, 5000 HG/PG → S Cup.
◉ Some Stella 3000 / 4000 FD → S Cup.
◉ Shimano Saragosa 4000–6000 → S Cup + sleeve (sleeve required).
◉ Shimano New Stella (’08+) SW4000 XG/PG, SW5000–20000 → NS Cup.
◉ Shimano New Talica 8–12 → NS Cup.
◉ Shimano New TwinPower (’09+) SW4000 XG/PG, 5000–12000 HG → NS Cup.
◉ D Cup commonly fits reels labeled “S” in the Japan Daiwa catalog for sizes 1500–4000.
◑ Note: The “S” label is a knob size indicator only—shaft length and bearing sizes still determine whether you need a 30 mm or 40 mm knob.
◑ Daiwa reels labeled “L” typically require a 45 mm knob instead of 40 mm.
◉ Trinidad A-Series owners: remove the original knob and measure the two internal bearing ODs:
◑ 8 mm & 7 mm → S Cup
◑ 9 mm & 9 mm → NS Cup
