i donno anything about daiwa as i have never owned one...and honestly i am not even sure exactly what its referred to on my shimanos but i think its a casting something or other....but its on the crank side of the reel almost underneath the drag adjustment crank. Round adjustable knob that you can turn. When turned counterclock wise or back toward you from a completely close position it loosens the tension on the spool and allows it to throw more freely. Allows you to adjust for how you cast, less or more thumb pressure as well as quicker or slower drops to the bottom based on your weights.
