The Daiwa 25 SALTIGA DRD Radiation Drag Knob is designed specifically for the 25SALTIGA DRD14000 spool and must be installed when using this spool on any of the following models: 25SALTIGA 8000, 10000, or 14000.
This drag knob is part of Daiwa’s revolutionary DRD (Durable Radiation Drag) system — built to handle the intense demands of long, high-pressure fights with powerful fish.
What is DRD?
DRD is a completely new drag mechanism engineered to outperform conventional systems in both durability and smoothness. Instead of standard carbon washers, DRD uses eight metal rollers on a metal plate, which offers:
-
Over 5x the durability of traditional carbon drag washers (based on Daiwa internal testing)
-
Consistent drag pressure with minimal performance loss from frictional heat
-
Smooth start-up even under heavy load
-
Enhanced resistance to seizing and wear at high drag ranges
