Product Description

Shimano 10FFT Line Guide Pawl (BNT4970) | Calcutta Conquest Replacement Part

Restore the precision line lay of your premium baitcaster with this genuine Shimano 10FFT Line Guide Pawl. Also identified by part number BNT4970, this critical levelwind component is engineered to exact factory specifications for the Shimano Calcutta Conquest series and select high-performance reels.

The line guide pawl is the "tooth" that engages with the worm shaft to drive the line guide back and forth. Over time, this part wears down, leading to inconsistent line spooling, sticking, or "clicking" noises during retrieval. Replacing it ensures your reel continues to cast efficiently and lay line evenly.

Product Features

• Genuine Shimano Part: OEM replacement guarantees perfect fitment and operation within the levelwind assembly.

• Precision Engineering: Manufactured from durable, high-grade metals to withstand the constant friction of the worm gear.

• Restores Performance: Eliminates the "sticking" or hesitation in the line guide movement caused by worn or chipped pawl teeth.

• Easy Installation: Direct drop-in replacement for the original pawl (Part Code: 10FFT).
