  1. All right, thank y'all for replying! And as I was reading through them, I think it has been from less than adequate care out fishing at ponds. Most likely from me accidentally putting it on the ground after catching a fish. Guess I should bring these reels to a professional to clean and put together rather than me.
  2. As mentioned in the title, I have four reels that all have a somewhat similar rough feeling in them. Two of them ( Lew's LFS and BPS Johnny Morris Carbonlite 2.0) both feel very close to what I put in the title- they have a rough feeling ( the BPS reel is much worse, mainly because that same roughness can be felt all the way from the gears to the handle knobs, and can hardly feel any sensitivity from holding the blank) and both are very noisy. The other two ( Abu Garcia Pro Max, and a Lew's Mach 2, the $100 version) they are similar but are more noisy than rough, though it is still very noticeable! The roughness and grinding sensation feel like they come from the pinion gear on the new carbonlite reel and the LFS. The other two just feel rough, not as sure where it is coming from. The LFS makes noise while casting. The rest don't. And, the worst part about three of the reels ( excluding the Abu ) is that none of the reels are over 7 months old. With the carbonlite only being two months old. All the reels have been " cleaned." By that, I mean a novice and some YouTube videos, but they were all on there way to what they are now, whether or not I sped it up or not. So can anyone help with this little bit of info as to what might be wrong with all four of these reels?
