Compatible Reel
Compatibility – SLP Works, RCS & Megabass Knobs
SLP Works, RCS, and Megabass knobs are designed exclusively for DAIWA Reels with Shaft Type S. Therefore, they fit properly and without modifications only on compatible Daiwa Handles.
- Compatible with: DAIWA Reels with Shaft Type S
- Not compatible with: Original Shimano Handles
- Not compatible with: Gomexus Handles
The reason is simple: the diameter and construction of the Handle Shafts differ, which means the knobs do not fit correctly on Shimano or Gomexus.
Special solution for tuning enthusiasts 😏
If you are one of those who like to go a little further, there is still an option. With our in-house
RL-TNG Carbon Handles
you can also use SLP Works, RCS, and Megabass knobs on other setups.
- Make them compatible, allowing the knobs to be used on Shimano Reels as well
- More tuning options, because you can freely combine the Handle and knob
- Designed for DIY enthusiasts, and that is exactly where things get really interesting
Note: This solution is intended for experienced users, as it takes you beyond the standard setup and deliberately into the realm of individual tuning.
Guide - Which Gear Shift Knob Fits My Setup?
The right crank knob (knob) significantly influences the grip feel, control, and comfort while fishing. Depending on the fishing technique, reel size, and personal preference, a different knob may be more suitable.
Knob size is usually specified by the diameter at the thickest point – not by the length. This diameter determines how much contact area your hand has with the knob.
Knob Size – The Contact Point to the Reel
18–20 mm – BFS & Ultralight
- Very direct grip feel
- High control with light lures
- Ideal for BFS reels and ultralight setups
- Perfect for precise fishing
Typical use: BFS, finesse, ultralight baitcasters
21–24 mm – Allround
- Good mix of comfort and control
- Very versatile
- Comfortable even during longer fishing sessions
Typical use: allround baitcasters, zander, perch, pike
25–27 mm – Large Grip
- More grip surface
- Better control with higher resistance
- Comfortable when fighting larger fish
Typical use: pike, larger lures, stronger reels
30–40 mm – Bigbait & Saltwater
- Very large grip surface
- Maximum control with high lure resistance
- Relieves hand and forearm
Typical use: bigbait, large swimbaits, saltwater
Important Note on Knob Size
Basically, larger knobs can also be mounted on smaller reels as long as the fitting matches. Technically, this is often possible.
However, you should pay attention to choosing a knob size that makes sense for the reel. A very large or heavy knob can significantly accelerate the crank due to its own weight and the resulting centrifugal force, more than some light reels are designed for.
Especially with very light baitcaster reels, BFS reels, or finely built gearboxes, a knob that is too large can increase the load on the mechanism. In the worst case, this can lead to more wear or even damage to the gearbox over time.
Therefore: just because a knob can be mounted does not automatically make it the best choice for the respective setup. For small and light reels, it is advisable to opt for light and appropriately sized knobs.

The Right Knob Size for Your Setup
Here is a quick guide to which size fits which setup:
- BFS & Ultralight: 18–20 mm
- Allround Baitcaster: 21–24 mm
- Large Lures / Pike: 25–27 mm
- Bigbait & Saltwater: 30–40 mm
Ultimately, choosing the right knob is always a matter of personal grip feel. Many anglers prefer larger knobs for more comfort, while smaller knobs offer more direct feedback from the reel.
SLP Works Power Square Cork Knob
SLP Works Power Square Cork Knob
The SLP Works Power Square Cork Knob is just right when you want to do more than just turn the reel handle—you want to work it.

Daiwa Cork Knob Upgrade – Why It’s Worth It

Power Cork Knob – Installation & Quick Guide

FAQ – Spool Bearings for Baitcasting Reels
A
Very fine cork handle a little small for normal hands.
Got into big trouble mounting it on the spinning reel a Daiwa LT 4000D-CXH. A reel at € 1.000, which was not on the list ?
There where no extra washers with the cork handle and they cost 1 € for 20 pcs. in steel 316 rust free and saltwater proof.
This meant that the nice handle could not be installed on the spinning reel.
I had to bring another on a fishing trip.
I got some washers from another fishing shop and installed the handle. It works perfectly and the tool included is very good quality.
Advise to the shop:
It is very very difficult to find the matching handles for a specific spinning reel.
It is very diffult no know which parts to buy as extra washers and ball bearings for a specific spinning reel.
Make a PDF on your website with every spinning reel and the matching handle, washers and ball bearings. AI can make it for you as an excell file which you can save as a PDF an uploaf it for the customers.
You can sell some small bags with 20 washers in each bag for 4-5 € that fits to:
Daiwa spinning reels
Shimano spinning reels
Etc.
Make an ekstra possibility to buy another small bag with 2 new ball bearings for 10€ for the spinning reel people have
and
get satisfied customers because they do not miss anything when they receive the handke from you and you will earn more.
It was not possible to know that one should have bought extra washers on your shop to install the € 44,95 cork handle.
It would be nice, if it was possible to buy bigger handles in general for Europe sized hands.
We do not care about the price as fishermen, who just wants the best.
We just want to be able to buy the products easy without any problems.
You are as professionals able to know an make sure, that your customers get the right product, , we dont, we just want to buy it and fish with it.
Send us emails what we can buy to the reels we own.
Make an auromatic email to all customers and let them answer a scheme where they can answer you back, which spinning reels they have and
let AI send the customers a list with pictures and the items they can buy from you, including handles, washers and ball bearings.
Then we will buy more.
It could be nice to be able to buy new bigger cork handles for fly reel handles such as Hardy and Waterworks-Lamson and other older less known reels kike Okuma etc.
You could make a discount if people by 5 handles for different reels at the same order.
The finish of your products is fantastic.
Best wishes
The Fisherman
