10C14  (RD17661  Drag Washer)

Genuine Shimano Drag Washer (part #10C14) — drag washers are the friction discs inside the drag stack that control how much resistance is applied to a running fish. Over time, drag washers can become glazed, compressed, or contaminated with salt and grime, leading to jerky, inconsistent drag that causes break-offs or pulled hooks. Cross-references with Shimano part number RD17661. OEM replacement ensures smooth, consistent drag pressure throughout the full range of adjustment.
