BNT0042 LINE GUIDE PAWL (10FFZ)

Product Description

This is a genuine Shimano replacement Line Guide Pawl, part numbers BNT0042, 10FFZ, and TGT0520. These part numbers are often used interchangeably to refer to this single, crucial component. As a vital piece of your baitcasting or conventional reel's levelwind system, this pawl is responsible for ensuring your line lays evenly and smoothly across the spool during retrieval.

The Critical Role of the Line Guide Pawl

The line guide pawl is a small but essential workhorse within your reel. It is a T-shaped component that fits inside the line guide carriage and engages with the grooved worm gear. As you turn the handle, the worm gear rotates, and the pawl travels along these grooves, moving the line guide back and forth across the front of the reel. This meticulously engineered mechanism prevents line from bunching up on one side of the spool, which is critical for preventing backlashes, maximizing line capacity, and ensuring long, smooth casts.

When to Replace Your Line Guide Pawl

Over time, the constant friction and movement can cause the tip of the pawl to wear down. A worn or damaged line guide pawl is one of the most common causes of reel malfunction. If you notice any of the following symptoms, it is highly likely that your line guide pawl needs to be replaced:

• The levelwind gets stuck on one side of the reel.
• The line guide stops moving altogether while the handle is turning.
• You hear a "clicking" or "ticking" sound as the levelwind attempts to change direction.
• The line is bunching up unevenly on the spool.

Replacing a worn pawl is a simple, inexpensive repair that can instantly restore your reel's performance and prevent more significant damage to the worm gear.
