I just had my new Diawa Sol spinning reel delivered.  I took it out of the box and noticed it making a quite rubbing sound when the handle was cranked.  Has anyone else had this issue with a new reel?  I think I will take it apart and re-lube everything.  Hopefully that solves this problem.  Any advise would be great.

I would return it for exchange.

Any new reel should work perfectly out of the box.  Send it back.

personally, would send it back.

i once returned a sustain for that same problem.

I am sending it back... what a dissapointment
