Product Description
Shimano 10BHQ Line Guide Pawl (BNT5383 & TGT2308)
The Shimano 10BHQ Line Guide Pawl is a vital "half-moon" component responsible for the precise movement of the line guide assembly across the worm shaft. This small but essential part ensures that your fishing line is distributed evenly onto the spool during the retrieve, preventing tangles and ensuring optimal casting distance.
As a high-wear component, the pawl can develop flat spots or chipped edges over time, leading to a "jerky" line guide or causing it to seize entirely on one side of the reel. Replacing your worn pawl with this genuine Shimano factory part restores the smooth, rhythmic oscillation required for consistent line management.
