Product Description
Shimano 10TXS Anti-Reverse Ratchet (MCR0012)
The Shimano 10TXS Anti-Reverse Ratchet (Part #MCR0012) is a fundamental internal component specifically engineered for the high-torque demands of Shimano Moocher series reels. This precision-cut gear works in direct synchronization with the anti-reverse pawl to provide an immediate, rock-solid lockup. By preventing the handle from spinning backward during a strike, this ratchet ensures you maintain constant line tension and hook-setting power when targeting large salmon or bottom fish.
Constructed from a high-strength, wear-resistant alloy, this ratchet is designed to withstand the repetitive impact of the anti-reverse system without chipping or rounding, even under the stress of heavy trolling weights and deep-water drag settings.

Key Features
-
Reliable Backstop: Provides the critical stopping points for the anti-reverse pawl, ensuring zero back-play in the handle assembly.
-
Marine Grade Durability: Engineered to resist the corrosive effects of saltwater, preventing the "sticking" or pitting that can compromise anti-reverse reliability.
-
Precision Machined: Features sharp, clean-cut teeth for instant engagement and reduced mechanical noise.
-
Genuine OEM Quality: Ensures perfect fitment and balance on the main shaft, maintaining the original factory feel of your Moocher reel.
Maintenance & Lubrication
For optimal performance and to reduce mechanical wear on the ratchet teeth, we recommend the use of Deuthlon high-performance lubricants during assembly:
-
Teeth & Engagement: Apply a thin, even layer of Deuthlon Power Grease to the ratchet teeth. This specialized grease stays in place under high centrifugal force and provides a protective barrier against moisture.
-
Shaft Friction: Use a drop of Deuthlon Reel Gear Oil on the drive shaft where the ratchet sits to ensure smooth rotation and prevent heat buildup during long runs.
