1048T (BNT1385  Clutch Pawl Spring)

Genuine Shimano Clutch Pawl Spring (part #1048T, BNT1385) — this small spring provides the tension needed for the clutch pawl to snap into position, ensuring the reel engages and disengages cleanly when you activate the free-spool mechanism. If this spring loses tension or breaks, the clutch may fail to lock in gear or release the spool on command — a critical issue when fighting fish. Cross-references with Shimano part numbers 1048T and BNT1385. OEM replacement ensures perfect fit and factory performance.
