1048Z  (BNT2014  Clutch Pawl Spring)

Genuine Shimano Clutch Pawl Spring (part #1048Z, BNT2014) — 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 into gear or release the spool on command, creating a critical problem when fighting fish or casting. Cross-references with Shimano part numbers 1048Z and BNT2014. OEM replacement ensures perfect fit and factory performance.
