10A6S (RD16342 Screw)

Genuine Shimano Screw (part #10A6S) — this OEM fastener is used to secure internal components in Shimano spinning reels. Using the correct factory screw ensures proper thread engagement, torque specs, and corrosion resistance — generic hardware store screws often have incorrect thread pitch or lack the saltwater-grade plating needed for marine use. A missing or stripped screw can allow critical components to loosen during a fight. Cross-references with Shimano part number RD16342. OEM replacement ensures exact fit and long-lasting corrosion protection. Available from Offshore Tackle & Repair in Stuart, FL — your trusted source for genuine Shimano spinning reel parts.
