A reel of mine is making a high pitch squealing noise for just under a second at the beginning of the cast.  First thought was that the spool was rubbing on the frame.  However, I don't think it is because casting distance is excellent.  Reel is straight from the box.  Thanks.

If it has centrifugal brakes, try putting some oil on a q tip and lubricating the inside of the frame where the brakes contact. I have to do this often with my Shimano's

Which reel, which maker?

I bet it's the Curado i.

You'd be wrong.    It is a reel from the company we aren't allowed to talk about.

Most likely brake noise as suggested. 

Thanks.
