The Ultimate Jigging 30 mm Reel Knob is precision-machined for a tight, play-free fit—≈0.01 mm clearance when installed correctly. Compact, comfortable, and durable, it’s an excellent upgrade for rocky-shore float fishing, bass fishing, EGI, surf casting, and boat jigging.
⭕ Direct-Fit Design (Shimano & Daiwa)
This knob is designed to mount directly on the original handle shaft of many Shimano and Daiwa reels.
◉ Daiwa
➥ Any reel marked “S” in the Japan Daiwa catalog, such as Saltiga 3500, Catalina 3500, Blast (2015) 3500 - 4000, Phantom Light 3500, Dsmarts 2003 - 2500, Ryoga 1000 - 2000, and various other bait-casting models.
◉ Shimano
➥ Vanquish, Rarenium, Exsence 1000–4000, BB-X Sephia, Stella 1000–3000 (Japan model), New TwinPower 2008 - 2009, New Stella FE 1000 - 4000, Stella FA/FB 1000 - 4000, FD 1000 - 2500 (note: FD 3000 - 4000 may require a 40 mm knob or 40 mm Type II with S Cup), Stradic, Sustain 1000 - 4000 FG (or earlier), and Sustain 1000 - 3000 FE (4000 FE requires a 40 mm with S Cup).
⧳ Compatibility varies by generation. If you’re unsure, measure your original knob’s internals (see Installation Tips) or send us a photo.

⭕ Installation Tips
◉ The 30 mm knob typically uses two bearings sized 4 × 7 × 2.5 mm (ID × OD × Width).
◑ Many reels already have these inside the original knob.
◑ Some reels include one bearing + one sleeve—you can still install the knob using those parts.
◉ This 30 mm version is intended for small Shimano/Daiwa reels (1000 - 4000).
◑ If your original knob has two sleeves/bearings with OD = 7 mm and 7 mm, the UJ 30 mm is likely compatible.
◑ If the two sleeves/bearings measure 8 mm and 7 mm (OD), choose the UJ 40 mm knob with S Cup instead.
