Do you use a new reel right out of the box?

I recently got a President XT 25 size that I feel is way tougher to turn than it should be.  I will have to see what's up with it.  But other than that, I don't think I've ever had any issues with reels out of the box.

    My President Limited size 25 wasnt as smooth as expected out of the box as well...

     

    As for other reels, I used to just fish them (mostly Shimano) but since I started to buy Chinese stuff (Kastking, Piscifun etc) I took the habit of relubing them before first use, they perform way better this way !
