Product Description
Shimano 10MWC Anti-Reverse Pawl Assy (TGT0883)
The Shimano 10MWC Anti-Reverse Pawl Assembly (TGT0883) is a critical internal mechanical fail-safe designed for Shimano’s high-performance offshore and conventional reels. While many modern reels use a roller clutch bearing for instant anti-reverse, the 10MWC pawl provides a heavy-duty mechanical backup. It is engineered to lock into the anti-reverse ratchet on the drive shaft, preventing the handle from spinning backward under extreme drag pressures or in the event of a primary bearing failure.
Crafted from hardened marine-grade stainless steel, this pawl is built to withstand the high-shock loads encountered when targeting powerful saltwater species.

Compatible Reel Models
The 10MWC (TGT0883) is a foundational part for Shimano’s premium lever drag and conventional reels. It is a direct fit for the following series:
-
Shimano Talica: TAC8, TAC10, TAC12, TAC16, TAC20, TAC25 (Single and II-Speed models).
-
Shimano Tyrnos: TYR8, TYR10, TYR12, TYR16 (Select versions).
-
Shimano Tiagra: Select smaller frames (Verify by schematic).
-
Shimano TLD: Select newer generations of the TLD series.
Technical Tip: The 10MWC assembly often includes "friction ears" or a small spring that keeps the pawl in contact with the ratchet. If your reel has "back-play" or a clicking sound during the retrieve, these ears may need slight adjustment or replacement. For precise alignment, consult the official PDF schematics at www.reelschematic.com.
Maintenance & Lubrication Recommendation
The anti-reverse pawl is a metal-on-metal friction part. Proper lubrication ensures it engages instantly and operates quietly without wearing down the teeth of the drive shaft ratchet. We recommend Deuthlon Lubricants:
-
For the Pawl Teeth: Apply a light film of Deuthlon Reel Gear Grease. This high-tack, water-resistant grease stays on the friction surfaces during high-speed retrieves, providing a quiet "click" and preventing the metal from "peening" (rounding over).
-
For the Pivot Point: Use a single drop of Deuthlon Power Cast Oil on the mounting post where the pawl pivots. This ensures the pawl flips back and forth with zero resistance, which is critical for instant engagement during a strike.
Why Choose Genuine Shimano 10MWC?
-
High-Torque Rating: Specifically designed to handle the vertical lift forces of big-game fishing.
-
Corrosion Immunity: The specialized stainless alloy prevents the pawl from rusting into its housing—a common cause of catastrophic reel failure in saltwater.
-
Precision Timing: Engineered to match the exact tooth pitch of the Talica and Tyrnos drive shafts for zero-slip engagement.
