102J8 (RD0485  Anti-Reverse Pawl)

Genuine Shimano Anti-Reverse Pawl (part #102J8), also cross-referenced as RD0485. This pawl is a key component of the anti-reverse system in Shimano spinning reels. It locks into the ratchet to prevent backward handle rotation, giving you instant hookset power when a fish bites. Over time, pawls can wear down and slip — replacing this part restores reliable one-way engagement. Compatible with select Shimano RD-series spinning reels. Available from Offshore Tackle & Repair in Stuart, FL — your trusted source for Shimano parts on the Treasure Coast.
