What only the Japanese listing gives you
- Product code and JAN: 045010 (200HG RIGHT) / 045027 (201HG LEFT) / 4969363045010 (200HG RIGHT) / 4969363045027 (201HG LEFT). Use these to match a Japanese retailer's listing and to order parts.
- Spool: 35 mm dia. / 28 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.
