Product Description

SHIMANO 1063C CLUTCH PAWL (BNT1799)

Reliable Clutch Engagement

The Shimano 1063C Clutch Pawl (Part No. BNT1799) is a genuine OEM stainless steel component found in the clutch linkage of several classic Shimano baitcasting reels. This pawl works in tandem with the clutch cam and the clutch plate to control the engagement and disengagement of the spool.

When you depress the thumb bar, this pawl pivots to lock the reel in free spool. When you turn the handle, the return ratchet strikes the kick lever, which in turn pushes this pawl to snap the reel back into gear. A worn or bent clutch pawl is a common cause of "incomplete" engagement, where the reel feels stuck between free spool and gear, or makes a grinding sound when you start to retrieve.

Installation Tip: The BNT1799 pawl usually relies on a Clutch Pawl Spring to maintain tension. If this spring is weak or installed incorrectly, the pawl will not return to the "engaged" position, leaving your reel stuck in free spool. Check the spring (often part BNT1607 or similar) for deformation when replacing the pawl.
