Product Description

SHIMANO 104GX CLICK BUTTON (TGT1596)

Engage Your Strike Alarm

The Shimano 104GX Click Button (TGT1596) is the genuine OEM sliding switch designed for the premium Shimano Talica lever drag series. Located on the left side plate of the reel, this button is the external control for the line alarm system. When slid into the "On" position, it engages the internal clicker mechanism, providing that critical audible alert when a fish takes line.

Due to its position on the exterior of the reel, this button can be prone to impact damage, sun fading, or becoming stiff from salt buildup. Replacing it with this original Shimano part ensures smooth operation and restores the sleek aesthetic of your high-performance lever drag reel.
