Product Description
Shimano 10C3V Lever Click (TGT1490)
The Shimano 10C3V Lever Click (TGT1490) is a specialized internal component found in the lever drag assembly of Shimano offshore reels. This part is responsible for providing the distinct, audible "clicking" sound and tactile resistance when moving the drag lever between the "Free," "Strike," and "Full" positions.
This indexing system is crucial for big-game angling, as it allows the fisherman to feel and hear the exact position of the drag setting without taking their eyes off the water. If your drag lever has become loose, slides too easily, or no longer "clicks" into the Strike position, the Lever Click is likely worn or the internal spring tension has failed. Replacing it with a genuine Shimano part restores the safety and precision required for trolling and bottom fishing.

When disassembling the lever, be careful as these parts are under tension and can easily spring away.
