10662 (RD 8646 Rear Protector)

Genuine Shimano Rear Protector (part 10662) — the rear protector covers the bottom of the reel body, shielding internal components from impact damage when the reel is set down on hard surfaces like boat decks, rocks, or piers. A cracked or missing rear protector exposes the reel body to dings and allows debris to enter. Cross-references with Shimano part number RD 8646. OEM replacement ensures perfect fit and factory performance. Available from Offshore Tackle & Repair in Stuart, FL — your trusted source for genuine Shimano reel parts.
