Product Description
SHIMANO 1024C HANDLE NUT PLATE (BNT5473)
Secure Your Power Handle
The Shimano 1024C Handle Nut Plate (BNT5473) is a genuine OEM retainer designed for the heavy-duty Tranx 300 and 400 series baitcasting reels. This locking plate fits over the handle nut and is secured by a set screw, preventing the nut from loosening during the high-torque situations these reels are built for.
If your handle nut is backing off or your current retainer plate is cracked or lost, this replacement part is essential to keep your handle assembly tight and safe. It features the specific "Dark Blue" finish to match the factory aesthetics of the Tranx A series.
