Product Description
Shimano 10TXT Anti-Reverse Pawl Spring (MCR0025 & MCR0043)
The Shimano 10TXT Anti-Reverse Pawl Spring (Part #MCR0025 / MCR0043) is a vital tension component engineered for the Shimano Moocher series. This spring is responsible for keeping the anti-reverse pawl in constant contact with the ratchet, ensuring the "dog" engages instantly to prevent handle back-play.
Because mooching and trolling reels endure constant vibration and heavy torque, this spring is a common wear item. A weakened or snapped spring will cause the anti-reverse to fail, leading to dangerous "knuckle-buster" handle spins when a fish strikes. Replacing this part restores the safety and mechanical integrity of your reel's drive train.

Key Features
-
Positive Engagement: Provides the exact factory-spec tension required to snap the pawl into the ratchet teeth.
-

-
Durability: High-cycle fatigue resistance ensures the spring maintains its shape after thousands of anti-reverse engagements.
-
Perfect Fit: An authentic Shimano part that fits perfectly over the pawl post without the need for manual bending or adjustment.
Maintenance & Lubrication
Springs are susceptible to "hidden" corrosion where they contact other metal surfaces. To ensure long-lasting performance, we recommend using Deuthlon lubricants:
-
Corrosion Guard: Apply a light coating of Deuthlon Power Grease to the entire surface of the spring. This creates a waterproof barrier that prevents rust from forming in the coils.
-
Pivot Lubrication: Use Deuthlon Reel Gear Oil on the anti-reverse pawl's pivot point to ensure the spring can move the pawl freely without friction-induced delay.
