10B3B (RD 8696  Oscillating Gear)

Genuine Shimano Oscillating Gear (part #10B3B) — this gear drives the worm shaft in the oscillation system, converting handle rotation into the precise back-and-forth spool movement that produces even, level line lay. Worn or chipped oscillating gear teeth cause clicking, uneven spool travel, and line packing problems that hurt casting distance. Cross-references with Shimano part number RD8696. OEM replacement ensures perfect fit and factory performance. Available from Offshore Tackle & Repair in Stuart, FL — your trusted source for genuine Shimano reel parts.
