Product Description
Shimano 10BTO Click Pin (BNT2122)
The Shimano 10BTO Click Pin (BNT2122) is a precision-engineered internal component responsible for providing the audible "click" feedback in your reel's adjustment systems. This pin is most commonly utilized in the star drag assembly or the spool tension knob, where it interacts with a click gear or notched plate to provide tactile and audible increments.
Though small, the click pin is essential for precision fishing. It allows anglers to make micro-adjustments to drag pressure or spool tension without looking at the reel. If your star drag has lost its "click" or feels mushy during adjustment, the click pin is likely worn, stuck, or has been lost during maintenance. Replacing it with this genuine Shimano part restores the crisp, definitive indexing your reel had when new.

Pro Tip: The click pin is almost always supported by a small Click Spring. If you are replacing the pin because it fell out, check to see if the spring is still inside the housing. Without the spring, the pin will not engage the gear. To see the exact orientation of the pin and spring in your handle stack, view the PDF schematic at www.reelschematic.com.
