Product Description
Shimano 10CJF Drag Washer (A-G) (BNT2361)
The Shimano 10CJF Drag Washer (A-G) is a critical friction component positioned at the base of the main gear in Shimano's most reliable baitcasting and round reels. Designated as "Washer (A)" or "(G)" depending on the specific model's stack configuration, this part provides the essential surface area for smooth, consistent drag engagement.
Fabricated from a high-density, heat-resistant composite, the 10CJF is engineered to eliminate "stiction"—the jerky startup inertia that often leads to snapped lines during a fish's initial strike. If your drag feels "notchy" or loses its stopping power when the reel gets hot, your washers are likely glazed or worn. Replacing them with this genuine Shimano factory part restores the ultra-smooth, high-performance drag feel your reel had on day one.

Key Features
-

-
Thermal Stability: Engineered to maintain consistent friction levels even during long, high-speed runs.
-
OEM Precision Fit: Specifically die-cut to the exact tolerances of the Shimano main gear well to prevent slipping or bunching.
-
Saltwater Grade: Resistant to the degradation and swelling often caused by salt crystallization.
Pro Tip: For the best results, ensure the main gear is completely clean of old grease before installation. While these can be run dry for maximum power, a light coating of specialized Star Drag Grease is recommended for maximum smoothness.
