Compatibility – SLP Works, RCS & Megabass Knobs
The knobs from SLP Works, RCS, and Megabass are designed exclusively for DAIWA Reels with Shaft Type S. Therefore, they fit cleanly and without adjustments only on corresponding Daiwa handles.
- Fits: DAIWA Reels with Shaft Type S
- Not compatible: Original Shimano handles
- Not compatible: Gomexus handles
The reason is simple, as the diameter and design of the handle shafts differ, causing the knobs not to fit correctly on Shimano or Gomexus.
Special solution for tuning fans 😏
If you are one of those who like to go a bit further, there is still a possibility. With our in-house
RL-TNG Carbon Handles
you can also use SLP Works, RCS, and Megabass knobs on other setups.
- Make compatible, allowing the knobs to be used on Shimano Reels as well
- More tuning options, because you can freely combine handle and knob
- Designed for tinkerers, and that’s where it gets really interesting
Note: This solution is aimed at experienced users, as here you leave the standard range and consciously move towards 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.
