Thanks for the help. In a few days when I am home I will post a picture of where it's coming from as well as a sound video. I suspected it was at the point that the rotor/shaft is because without the spool i can still hear it as i reel in, the harder i reel the louder it is. It sounds as if there is sand in there, like i can hear something small scraping as i reel. I tried a shimano sedona in store and it was incredibly smooth and didn't make a sound. This reel would be very smooth if it were not for the scraping noise. One other thing i forgot to mention that i believe is part of it, the reel seems to not spin very long when i make it free spin. If i spin the reel on my cheap $15 diawa strikeforce fast and let it spin, its momentum carries itself for a while, while the lews seems to be stopping short. I will show this in the video as well

yes i meant rotor, I am not very knowledgeable in the parts of a reel. i can still hear it without the spool.

were they ever able to fix it?

I have a new Lew's Tournament TS300 spinning reel. Before it was used, when i would crank the reel,I could hear a faint hissing sound, like something was rubbing up against something else in the reel when the spool rotated. After fishing with it twice, it's gotten louder. I have tried other reels and know they are usually silent. I could only describe this sound as a very soft version of what it sounds like when you have a piece of paper stuck in a bike tire spoke. This reel was sold at $80, (has since been discontinued) so I would expect a silent reel. Do any of you reel experts know what this could be, or how to fix it? I already reoiled some parts but most of the reel is still fresh with grease from the factory. It gives the reel a sort of "dry" feeling instead of smooth like butter. I tookit apart and could not see anything stuck in there.

thanks, i will definitely check out the bg, i was thinking about buying one for saltwater, and was eyeing the nasci, but id prefer not to have a graphite frame. thanks, but the only reason i made a separate thread was because i was trying to gain knowledge on the 4 i mentioned

I am planning on buying a baitcast setup for frogging in the spring/summer. Any suggestions on rods+reels? $150 range or less for rod and for reel.I am leaning towards the dobyns fury magheavy flippin stick and the bps pq2. I'm not brand specific just has to be a flippin stick 7'-7'3 and a reel thats solid, has at leas 6:1 GR, and preferably the simpler to operate the better. some other reels i would consider -h20 mettle (is the gen 2 as good as the first?) -Abu orra sx -shimano caenan

I ended up getting the clarus because it ran me the least amount of money and i heard amazing things about it. For christmas my girlfriend is getting me a dobyns fury djektd. I would like to keep this thread running however because I will need another rod soon and Still am considering the ones i mentioned above. Falcon looks tempting, may save up and buy the bucoo sr. If abu runs a clearance and sells veritas for $32 i will definitely jump on that. on this note, does anyone know when rod riots at academy are/when the next one will be?

About to purchase new rod for spinning setup. It's my first over 20$ setup. I just bought a lews Tournament speed spin 300. There are major sales right now, and these are my choices. I cannot try them out in stores so am looking for some info on them; experience, flaws, overall value. -Veritas 2.0, 7ft MH-$65 (reluctant because of breaking history) -Falcon HD, 7ft M-$69.99 -H20 Express Ethos 6'10 MH-$59.99 -Shimano Clarus, 7ft MH-$49.99
-
Really want this rod but do not have enough money
-
Veritas 2.0s are on sale for $65. Went to buy one, but learned about all the snapping issues, and am now reluctant. Do they really break this easily? $100 marked down to $65 is very tempting, but is it worth the buy? Considering veritas or falcon hd.
-
Anyone have any experience with falcon, specifically the HD? I am looking for a budget rod, and I have heard great things about this brand. the hD is only $69.99. worth the buy?

I was debating on getting the ugly stik, but for the bass fishing i do i decided the 30-50 dollar price range would be better spent on a lightning rod/ rod shock than an ugly stick, sacrificing durability for sensitivity
-
found a used dobyns fury on amazon for 83$, says it is like new... is this worth spending extra money on and waiting for a reel or buying a less expensive reel? dobyns are never usually on sale
-
strictly Freshwater i'm looking for , I mostly spearfish saltwater, but may possibly do some shore fishing this summer.
