1052Q  (TT 0686  Alert Ratchet)

Genuine Shimano alert ratchet (part #TT0686, SKU 1052Q) — the toothed component in your Shimano Trinidad conventional reel's clicker mechanism that produces the audible clicking sound when line is pulled off the spool in free-spool mode. This clicking alert is essential for trolling and live bait fishing, letting you hear when a fish picks up your bait even when you're not watching the rod tip. A worn or damaged alert ratchet causes weak, inconsistent, or silent clicking, leaving you unable to detect subtle strikes. Cross-references with Shimano part number TT0686. OEM replacement restores loud, clear click alerts for confident trolling.
