Daiwa Px Type-R Clicking Drag? 2024
Rooney12 reply :
I was wondering if the Type-R has a clicking drag star? I have read reviews (Tackle Tour) saying the reel has a clicking drag star so I was surprised when mine arrived and it does not. Just wondering if there is something wrong with mine, thanks!
aavery2 reply :
Should definitely have a clicking drag star.

Check the schematic in the reel box. Make sure all parts are there inside the drag star assembly. Chances are you are missing a small part responsible for making the clicking sound. If you happened to take apart your reel chances are it might have happened at that time that it "flew out".

I received the reel earlier today and have not taken it apart. I don't know if I should open it up to try and figure it out or send it back, I don't feel a $500 reel should need fixing out of the box!

Please tell me you didn't pay 500 for that reel

I thought for a minute there I was going to have to be the bearer of bad news. Your right, the reel should be right out of the box. If everything else works well it should be a small problem that can be easily fixed. If it were mine I would take a look at it.

from Tackle warehouse?
I know they were selling 1 that had a star issue but was like 279$ or something.

It was from Tackle Warehouse, on their 25 days of savings sale so I assume there shouldn't have been any issues with it.

The reel does not have a clicking drag. It has a clicking drag star.

Nice catch, the subtle difference was not obvious.

What parts are responsible for making the drag star click (first time owning a Daiwa)?

Look for part # 91, that clip will give you the click.

Thanks!
rippin-lips reply :
A metal spring under the drag star. It's shaped like a wishbone sorta kinda.
Rooney12 reply :
After talking to Tackle Warehouse about the issue they informed me that they were unaware some right handed models did not have a clicking drag star. Unfortunately because they have no more in stock I can't exchange it, guess I'll have to live without the clicking drag star.
rippin-lips reply :
Dang sorry to hear that. That's kind of a bummer.
Cgrinder reply :
Should be a pretty easy fix. The click plate and spring are cheap if that's what you are missing and a click-compatible star is like $25, though if it came with the stock star you're in business there.
rippin-lips reply :
The leaf spring and leaf spring holder will run you $2.30 direct from Daiwa. Plus their shipping charges. I'm still confused as to why yours doesn't click though. It's a stock feature on that reel.

I'm confused as well, I asked Tackle Warehouse what pieces are missing. This was their response: "The reel is not missing any parts, some were manufactured with out this feature. Unfortunately there would be not way to "add" a click adjustment .This has only been brought to our attention recently."

Dude.. Contact Daiwa..

I don't think that's correct and whoever you are talking with is wrong about adding it part.
People take the px68 which is the jdm version of the pxr and add the clicking drag using pxr parts. The crappy part is it's about $75 for the conversion parts. Less for you since your reel already has the majority of them though. The drag star is the most expensive part @ $29
Can you post a pic of your reel?

Taken apart or all together?

If you have it apart, look inside the drag star and see if has ridges.

Looks like everything is as it should be minus the two small parts that were previously mentioned. Order those parts, or borrow them from another reel to test. But from what I can see in the pictures, if you add those parts your good to go.
Alonerankin2 reply :
Yup, order the parts. It's easy work to install...

So parts 90 and 91 are all I need?
aavery2 reply :
90 and 91 will get it done for you.
rippin-lips reply :
Yes,that should do the trick. I know to do the conversion on other reels. You have to use the driveshaft from a pxr. Try adding the spring and the holder first. You should be good with just those.

Is this because the drive shaft is not long enough to add these additional parts?
J Francho reply :
That part shouldn't add very much at all it's no thicker than the thrust washer.

Correct but I'm pretty sure you're just missing the 2 small parts. There's no reason you should have the shorter driveshaft in yours. Seems like a slip up during assembly or something like that. I bet if you call Daiwa and tell them what happened and maybe forward them the email. They'll send you the parts at no charge.

Defiantly going to contact Daiwa as Tackle Warehouse is not proving to be of any help. After calling TW they told me there is nothing they can do and I will have to contact Daiwa to figure things out on my own or pay to return the reel as I am a Canadian customer. I also asked if they may have sent me the reel that had the drag issue ($279.99) and they told me there is no way they could know this. Surprising as I thought TW would want to try and make things right.
Alonerankin2 reply :
I'm not surprised at all, which is why I suggested contacting Daiwa to begin with... Now that you have the info from the guys you should have zero issues with parts acquisition from Daiwa.. That's a fine reel and I'm pretty sure when you get it right, you will love it... Best Wishes...

travis23 reply :
I did the same deal from there. My drag star clicks, but my spool tension does not. I really don't care but I have been wondering why this would be?
rippin-lips reply :
That reel does not have that feature.
travis23 reply :
The description on there says it does lol.
Tywithay reply :
Doesn't say it on the Daiwa site. I'm guessing the TW description is for the mag dial, not the tension knob. Either way, it's not supposed to click.On 1/11/2015 at 9:22 AM, travis23 said:The description on there says it does lol.
travis23 reply :
Yeah i dont know. I just stopped worrying about it because it makes 0 difference to me.
78Staff reply :
I bought several PXL-R's from TW, all have clicking drag stars, which is expected based on the specs. Now, if you do a search on PXR's on the various boards you will find some older threads about how to add a clicking drag star to a PXR, so maybe the older models did not have the clicking feature, and you got an older model? Just a guess... Tackletrap even sells a kit... http://tackletrap.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=898_660_816
Now, I would like to have a clicking tension knob - I knew it didn't have one, but it would be nice if it could be added with minimal fuss - anyone know?
J Francho reply :
I can't stand a clicking spool tension knob. One thing I dislike about many high end reels. Some do not allow the fine tuning necessary. Though they do stay put once set.

I also dont like clicking spool tension knobs. I can dial my core in perfectly, my conquest on the other hand i always seem to be fiddling with it, lol.

I've been told I'm crazy. Lol.

I ended up calling Daiwa and telling them my issue. I told them the parts I was missing and they sent them free of charge. Problems fixed now. Did you get the reel from TW also?
travis23 reply :
I had to call Daiwa last week about my Tatula. First time for me, and they sent the part for free, which I heard they do. That's cool of them to do that.
DelcoSol reply :
Unfortunately I bought mine from another board member but it was brand new in the box. Which parts did you end up needing?

If it's missing the same parts it should be the following. I would take it apart and make sure these are the only parts before calling!
Part #'s
F02-8201 leaf spring holder
F03-2401 leaf spring
