Question on installation of ZPI star drag on Daiwa Steez SV TW

[Mike son]

Picked up a ZPI pentagram star drag and have one small question regarding the installation. I can't read japanese but I assume you are supposed to replace the stock keyed washer with the keyed washer included with the zpi star drag. Is my assumption correct? Just hoping someone can confirm this for me.

For what it's worth, the washer that came with the star drag is much thicker. I ended up using the stock washer upon installation as the one included from zpi was nearly too thick to allow the driveshaft nut to fully seat when I installed the star drag and an aftermarket handle.

How to you like the zpi star? The Steez A/SVTW drag star is one thing i really don't care for on the reel, it just feels so "plasticy" and cheap. I see Tackle Trap offers a Morethan star that fits the steez, but just not sure I want to upgrade 5 reels lol.

It's nice, haven't fished with it yet but I don't see myself having any issues. Weighs 0.74g more than the stock drag star. I don't care for the zaion drag stars and agree with what you said about them.
