Product Description

Shimano Pawl Cap (TGT0227 / BNT1092)

Keep your level wind system running smoothly with this genuine Shimano replacement part.

The Shimano TGT0227 Pawl Cap (also identified as BNT1092) is a critical component of the level wind assembly on a wide variety of Shimano baitcasting and round trolling reels. This screw-in cap secures the line guide pawl inside the worm shaft, ensuring your line lays evenly across the spool during retrieval.

If your level wind is skipping, stuck, or failing to traverse the spool, a lost, cracked, or stripped pawl cap is often the culprit. This is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable performance for your reel.

Product Features

• Part Number: TGT0227

• Alternate Part Number: BNT1092

• Part Name: Line Guide Pawl Cap / Nut

• Material: High-density composite/plastic (Standard black finish)

• Function: Secures the pawl to engage the worm gear.

• Fitment: Compatible with a vast range of round and low-profile baitcasters.

Why Replace Your Pawl Cap?

The pawl cap is subject to high vibration and torque. Over time, the threads can strip, or the cap can back itself out during heavy use. Replacing the cap along with the pawl is a recommended maintenance step to restore the "like-new" smooth operation of your reel's line guide system.

Tech Tip: When installing, do not overtighten. Ensure the pawl is seated correctly in the worm shaft groove before screwing the TGT0227 cap down.
