Quick take
This is a tuning kit for the line roller on the Shimano 21 Spheros SW 5000HG, 6000PG and 6000HG, not a reel. It adds a single bearing to the one-bearing line roller system and comes with a 4mm roller washer. The SHG version suits freshwater work such as bass and trout with light lures, while the HRCB version is the one aimed at saltwater use.
