Product Description
Shimano 10MW3 Anti-Reverse Pawl (BNT2404 & TGT1501)
The Shimano 10MW3 Anti-Reverse Pawl (often referred to as an "Anti-Reverse Dog") is a critical backup safety component for the drive train of Shimano baitcasting and trolling reels. While most modern reels rely on a one-way roller clutch bearing for instantaneous anti-reverse, the 10MW3 pawl serves as a mechanical fail-safe. It engages with the anti-reverse ratchet on the drive shaft to prevent the handle from spinning backward if the primary roller bearing slips or fails under heavy load.
Precision-stamped from hardened stainless steel or high-strength alloy, the 10MW3 is the updated global part number that consolidates and replaces the older BNT2404 and TGT1501 specifications.

Shimano Corvalus: Select models (Verify by schematic).
Technical Tip: The anti-reverse pawl is often held in place by a small friction spring or sits on a dedicated post on the set plate. If your reel makes a "clicking" sound while retrieving or fails to stop immediately when back-pedaled, this pawl or its accompanying spring may be worn.

Maintenance & Lubrication Recommendation
Because the anti-reverse pawl is a "metal-on-metal" contact part that intermittently strikes the ratchet, proper lubrication is essential to reduce noise and prevent the pawl from "peening" (rounding over). We recommend Deuthlon Lubricants:
-
For the Pawl Teeth: Apply a light dab of Deuthlon Reel Gear Grease. Its high-tack, water-resistant properties ensure the pawl engages quietly and remains protected from salt and moisture without flying off during high-speed casts.
-
For the Pivot Post: Use a single drop of Deuthlon Power Cast Oil on the post where the pawl pivots. This ensures the pawl can flip into position instantly without "sticking" due to old, dried grease.
Why Choose Genuine Shimano 10MW3?
-
Fail-Safe Reliability: Engineered to withstand the sudden "shock load" of a heavy strike if the roller clutch fails.
-
Updated Metallurgy: The 10MW3 version often features improved corrosion resistance over the legacy BNT2404 parts.
-
Timing Accuracy: Precision-machined to match the tooth pitch of the Shimano anti-reverse ratchet, ensuring there is no "play" or slippage before engagement.
