109NE (RD8606  Pinion Gear)

Genuine Shimano Pinion Gear (part #109NE) — the vertically oriented gear that meshes with the drive gear to convert rotary handle motion into the oscillating action that moves the spool up and down. A damaged or worn pinion gear leads to grinding noises, rough retrieve, and loss of smoothness. Cross-references with Shimano part number RD8606. OEM replacement ensures perfect fit and factory performance. Available from Offshore Tackle & Repair in Stuart, FL — your trusted source for genuine Shimano reel parts.
