Product Description
Shimano 10MWB Anti-Reverse Pawl (BNT2914 & TGT0303)
The Shimano 10MWB Anti-Reverse Pawl is a critical mechanical fail-safe designed for Shimano’s conventional, star drag, and trolling reels. Often referred to as an "Anti-Reverse Dog," this part acts as a redundant backup to the one-way roller bearing. Its primary job is to "bite" into the anti-reverse ratchet on the drive shaft, preventing the handle from spinning backward if the primary bearing slips under the extreme pressure of a high-speed strike or a heavy-duty hookset.
Precision-stamped from hardened stainless steel, the 10MWB is the consolidated modern part number for the legacy BNT2914 and TGT0303 specifications.

Compatible Reel Models
The 10MWB is a staple component in many of Shimano’s most rugged saltwater reels. It is a direct fit for the following series:
-
Shimano TLD Star: TLD 15/30, TLD 20/40.
-
Shimano Triton: TR100G, TR200G, TR1000LD, TR2000LD.
-
Shimano Speedmaster: TSM II, TSM III, TSM IV.
-
Shimano Tekota: Select early-generation models (check schematic for TGT0303).
-
Shimano Bantam: Select older conventional models.
Technical Tip: The 10MWB pawl features two small "friction ears" (thin metal tabs) that wrap around the anti-reverse ratchet. These ears use friction to "pull" the pawl into the ratchet teeth when you turn the handle backward. If these ears are bent too wide, the pawl won't engage; if they are too tight, the reel will feel "scratchy" or heavy during the retrieve.
Maintenance & Lubrication Recommendation
Since this is a metal-on-metal contact part that is under constant tension, proper lubrication is vital for quiet operation and longevity. We recommend Deuthlon Lubricants:
-
For the Pawl Teeth & Ratchet: Apply a light coating of Deuthlon Reel Gear Grease. This high-tack, water-resistant formula stays on the friction surfaces even during high-speed retrieves, ensuring the pawl engages quietly and protecting the metal from "peening" (rounding of the edges).
-
For the Pivot Post: Use a single drop of Deuthlon Power Cast Oil on the mounting post. This ensures the pawl can flip back and forth with zero resistance, which is crucial for instant engagement when a fish strikes.
Why Choose Genuine Shimano 10MWB?
-
Hardness Calibration: Machined to a specific Rockwell hardness that matches Shimano's drive shaft ratchets, preventing the pawl from grinding down the more expensive drive shaft.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Specially treated to resist the "tea-staining" (surface rust) that can cause the friction ears to become brittle and snap in saltwater environments.
-
Factory Tension: The friction ears are pre-set to the exact width required for the TLD and Triton series drive shafts.
