Product Description
Shimano 10TXL Spool Washer (MCR0009)
The Shimano 10TXL Spool Washer (Part #MCR0009) is a precision-engineered shim designed for the Shimano Moocher series of reels. This component plays a vital role in the internal alignment of the spool assembly, ensuring proper spacing between the click gear and the main shaft.
As a genuine Shimano replacement part, this washer helps maintain the correct line lay and prevents friction-related wear on the spool’s core components. Over time, these thin washers can become compressed, corroded, or lost during routine maintenance, making this an essential spare for any angler servicing their Mooching or downrigger reels.

Key Features
-
Critical Alignment: Ensures the spool sits at the exact height required for the clicker mechanism to engage cleanly.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Built to withstand constant exposure to saltwater spray typical of salmon mooching environments.
-
Smooth Rotation: Reduces lateral play in the spool, leading to a more consistent drag feel and quieter retrieve.
-
Direct OEM Replacement: Manufactured to Shimano's tightest tolerances to ensure a "drop-in" fit without modification.
Maintenance & Lubrication
During installation, it is important to protect these thin washers from moisture trap and oxidation. We recommend using Deuthlon high-performance lubricants:
-
Corrosion Barrier: Apply a very thin film of Deuthlon Power Grease to both sides of the washer before sliding it onto the main shaft. This creates a waterproof seal that prevents the washer from sticking or rusting.
-
Friction Reduction: For washers in high-rotation areas, a single drop of Deuthlon Reel Gear Oil ensures the spool spins freely with zero start-up inertia.
