Product Description
Shimano 10T84 Click Pawl (TGT2328) | Tekota Strike Alarm
The Shimano 10T84 Click Pawl (TGT2328) is a small but essential mechanical component within the Shimano Tekota series. It is the primary "tongue" of the reel's strike alarm system (the clicker). When you engage the clicker switch, this pawl is pushed against a toothed gear on the spool. As the spool rotates, the pawl bounces off the teeth to create the loud, sharp audible "click" that alerts you to a strike or line being pulled.
The 10T84 is the modern, consolidated Shimano part number that directly replaces the older TGT2328 specification. It is precision-stamped from hardened stainless steel to ensure a crisp sound and long-term resistance to the "rounding off" that occurs with heavy use.

Technical Tip: If your reel's clicker has become "muted," inconsistent, or silent, the 10T84 pawl has likely worn down or the tip has snapped. When replacing this part, it is highly recommended to also inspect the Click Spring (10HZ5) and the Click Pin (109ZZ), as these three parts work in a "sandwich" to provide the necessary tension.
Maintenance & Lubrication Recommendation
The click pawl generates significant friction and heat when a large fish makes a high-speed run. To ensure the sound remains sharp and the part doesn't overheat, we recommend Deuthlon Lubricants:
-
For the Pawl Tip: Apply a light dab of Deuthlon Reel Gear Grease to the toothed gear on the spool where the pawl strikes. This provides a "cushion" that prevents the metal-on-metal teeth from wearing down prematurely while still allowing for a loud alert.
-
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 back and forth instantly without "sticking," which is a common cause of clicker failure in saltwater environments.
Why Choose Genuine Shimano 10T84?
-
Acoustic Precision: The angle of the pawl tip is factory-ground to produce the specific frequency and volume that Tekota reels are famous for.
-
Hardness Calibration: Shimano uses a specific temper for the steel that is harder than the spool gear; this ensures the inexpensive pawl wears out over time rather than the expensive spool gear.
-
Corrosion Immunity: Made from a high-grade stainless alloy that resists the "rust-lock" that can happen to generic steel parts when exposed to salt spray.
