have you checked the line balance on the spool this is what makes the most noise when the spool is out of balance.

I've got 3 of them, got 2 of them at the same time....2 very quiet one makes a noise...strippped it, inter changed bearing...still makes a noise, ended up changing that many parts around from one reel to another I forgot what reel was what but still had one noisy reel :lol:

I asked Mackellow, he said he came across the same thing. End of the day they all cast as well as each other, but one screams a bit more when cast, they are all quiet on the retrieve.

If I bought a new one now and it made a noise it wouldnt bother me.
