What only the Japanese listing gives you
- Product code and JAN: 045928 (300XG RIGHT) / 4969363045928 (300XG RIGHT). Use these to match a Japanese retailer's listing and to order parts.
- Spool: 43 mm dia. / 22 mm width.
Officially listed compatibility applies to the Japanese reel as listed in Japan. We have not found a statement from Shimano that the US version takes the same parts, so we do not say it does.
