10CFW SPACER (OPTIONAL) (BNT0060)

Product Description

Shimano 10CFW Pawl Spacer (Optional) (BNT0060)

The Shimano 10CFW Pawl Spacer (BNT0060) is a precision-calibrated micro-washer used in the level wind assembly of Shimano baitcasting and round reels. Labeled as "optional" in many schematics, this spacer is used to fine-tune the depth and engagement of the Line Guide Pawl within the grooves of the Worm Shaft.

Because manufacturing tolerances in the level wind housing can vary slightly, this spacer is added or removed to ensure the pawl sits at the perfect depth. If the pawl sits too deep, it causes excessive friction and a "gritty" retrieve; if it sits too shallow, it may skip or jump out of the worm shaft grooves. Replacing a lost or damaged spacer restores the smooth, rhythmic oscillation required for perfect line lay.

Pro Tip: When servicing your level wind, the spacer is usually found inside the Pawl Cap, sitting on top of the pawl. If your line guide is "stuttering" after a cleaning, check that this tiny washer didn't stick to the old grease and get discarded.

Key Features

• Precision Shimming: Manufactured to a specific thickness to provide exact clearance for the level wind system.

• Corrosion Resistant: Made from high-grade alloys to prevent "freezing" inside the pawl cap.

• Universal Application: A "must-have" spare part for any Shimano baitcaster enthusiast or reel technician.

• Reduced Wear: Ensures the pawl tracks centrally in the worm gear, significantly extending the life of both components.
