So i took the cap off.... and the cast control spacer and the spool tension spacer are missing i think that solves the problem....thanks for all the quick responces.....

It starts to happen with the control knob set just tight enough where the spool wont move from side to side...

No i dont have line on it yet...when i took it out of the box i noticed the handle wasnt turning easily so i started adjusting the cast control...the more i tighten it the harder the handle is to turn...

So let me start by saying im new at using baitcaster reels...i just received a new citica today...when i tighten the cast control knob the reel handle also becomes harder to turn...i have to have the cast control knob set pretty loose in order for the handle to turn without any friction... is ths normal? Any help on this would be appreciated. ...
