Product Description
Shimano 10C3X Lever Click Shoe (TGT1489)
The Shimano 10C3X Lever Click Shoe (TGT1489) is a precision-engineered internal component designed for the lever drag system of high-end offshore reels. This part functions as the interface between the drag lever and the indexing plate, providing the tactile "clicks" and resistance felt when moving the lever through its range of motion.
The click shoe is a high-friction part that naturally wears down over hundreds of adjustments. When this shoe becomes flattened or worn, the drag lever may feel loose, lose its "detent" at the Strike position, or slide unintentionally during a troll. Replacing this with an authentic Shimano OEM part ensures your drag settings remain secure and provides the professional feedback required for high-stakes big game fishing.
