What only the Japanese listing gives you
- Product code and JAN: 048202 / 4969363048202. Use these to match a Japanese retailer's listing and to order parts.
- Practical drag: 3.5 kg (a separate maker figure the US table does not give).
- Spool: 47 mm dia. / 17 mm stroke.
- Yumeya spool type: S-33. See which Yumeya spools Shimano lists with the same type.
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.
