Description
Drag Checker (ドラグチェッカー) is a clip-on gauge from Sakura that lets an angler check reel drag settings alone: attach it to the line and pull the line through to read the measurement. It can be used with a lure or rig already tied on, and it also measures line and knot breaking strength as well as the weight of a landed fish.
This listing stocks the 5kg model (DC-2005, 300g-5kg range) and the 15kg model (DC-2015, 1kg-15kg range).

FAQ
How does PE rating convert to pounds?
Only approximately. A common rule of thumb is PE size × 10 ≈ breaking strain in pounds, but it varies by brand and braid construction — check the maker's own lb or kg rating on the listing.
Are hook and jig head sizes the same across brands?
No — sizes aren't standardised between Japanese makers. Size to the lure you're rigging and check the brand's own size chart; the measurements on the listing are the honest reference.
The colour looks slightly different from my last spool — is that normal?
Yes. Dye batches on braid and finishes on painted heads vary between production runs. It's cosmetic and doesn't change the spec.
How does small tackle ship?
Packed in Japan and sent with tracked international shipping, same as everything else. Small items still get a tracking number; delivery time varies by destination.
Why buy JDM line specifically?
Japanese line makers in the JAFTMA industry group publish tight diameter and strength tolerances, and member brands are measured against them. Check each listing's spec — that's a per-brand claim, not a blanket promise.
