Product Description
Shimano 10GQQ Click Pawl (BNT0688, TGT0063, TLD0051 & TT 0185)
The Shimano 10GQQ Click Pawl is a universal spring-tensioned component used in the bait alarm (clicker) mechanism. Whether it is identified as BNT0688 in a small baitcaster or TLD0051 in a massive offshore trolling reel, its function is the same: it rides against the teeth of the click gear to create the audible "screaming" sound when a fish pulls line from the spool.
As a mechanical contact point, the pawl is subject to friction and vibration. Over years of use, the tip of the pawl can wear down, become rounded, or bend, resulting in a clicker that sounds muffled, skips, or fails to make noise entirely. Replacing it with this genuine Shimano part restores the sharp, high-decibel alert necessary for bait fishing and trolling.

Key Features
-
High-Decibel Geometry: The "nose" of the pawl is precision-ground to provide a crisp, metallic snap against the gear teeth.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Constructed from marine-grade materials to prevent the salt-pitting that can cause the clicker to seize.
-
Consistent Tension: Designed to fit perfectly with the Click Spring, ensuring the alarm doesn't "trip" accidentally during a cast but engages firmly when a fish strikes.
-
OEM Reliability: Guaranteed to match the pivot pin diameter of the side plate for smooth, wobble-free movement.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
-
The "Dull" Clicker: If your clicker sounds soft or skips, the point of the pawl is likely worn flat. Check for metal shavings near the assembly.
-
The "Frozen" Switch: If the clicker won't engage, salt has likely built up behind the pawl. Remove the E-Lock/Retainer, clean with a brush, and apply a drop of oil.
-
Lubrication: While the clicker doesn't require heavy grease, a light coating of waterproof marine grease (like Shimano DG06) on the tip of the pawl will reduce wear on the Click Gear and make the sound slightly deeper.
Pro Tip: When replacing the pawl, always inspect the Click Spring (BNT0689 / TLD0052). If the spring has lost its "V" shape or is rusted, a new pawl will not have enough pressure to make a loud sound. You can find the full assembly schematic for your specific model at www.reelschematic.com.
