Product Description
Shimano 10PKB Anti-Reverse Pawl (TGT0037) | Triton TR Series Backup
The Shimano 10PKB Anti-Reverse Pawl (TGT0037) is a critical internal mechanical fail-safe designed for Shimano’s classic level-wind trolling reels. This part, commonly known as an "Anti-Reverse Dog," serves as a redundant backup to the primary anti-reverse system. It ensures that the handle and drive train cannot rotate backward even under extreme pressure, preventing the reel from "back-lashing" or unspooling when a fish strikes or during a heavy hookset.
Precision-stamped from high-strength stainless steel or treated alloy, the 10PKB is the consolidated modern part number that replaces the legacy TGT0037 specification.

Compatible Reel Models
The 10PKB (TGT0037) is a staple component in Shimano's rugged Triton series of level-wind trolling reels. It is a direct fit for:
-
Shimano Triton: TR-100G, TR-100GT, TR-200G, TR-200GT.
-
Shimano Charter Special: Select early versions (verify by schematic).
-
Shimano Bantam: Select older conventional models that use the Triton-style drive train.
Technical Tip: The anti-reverse pawl works in tandem with the Anti-Reverse Pawl Spring (TGT0039) and is held by the Pawl Supporter (TGT0038). If your reel makes a metallic "clunk" or fails to lock instantly when the handle is back-pedaled, the pawl or its spring may be worn or bent.

Maintenance & Lubrication Recommendation
Since the anti-reverse pawl is a "striking" part that repeatedly engages with the teeth of the anti-reverse ratchet, proper lubrication is essential to reduce noise and prevent the edges of the pawl from "peening" (rounding off). We recommend Deuthlon Lubricants:
-
For the Pawl Teeth: Apply a light dab of Deuthlon Reel Gear Grease. Its high-tack, water-resistant formula ensures the pawl engages quietly and remains protected from salt and moisture without flying off during high-speed retrieves.
-
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 into position instantly without "sticking" due to old, dried grease or salt crystallization.
Why Choose Genuine Shimano 10PKB?
-
Safety Reliability: Engineered to withstand the sudden "shock load" of a heavy strike if the primary roller clutch slips.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Specially treated alloy prevents the part from rusting onto its pivot post, a common cause of anti-reverse failure in saltwater.
-
Perfect Engagement: Machined to match the exact tooth pitch of the Triton drive shaft ratchet, ensuring zero "play" before locking.
