Technician's Note: The J54-7201 is specific to the "LT" chassis introduced around 2017/2018. It does not fit the older "Ballistic EX" or red-accented Ballistic reels. Before installing, ensure your Drag Washers are clean and properly greased. If the knob feels tight or cross-threads, check that the washer stack is not misaligned. For the exact washer order, please consult the schematics at www.reelschematic.com.
