I have a Daiwa Regal XIA (not the new model). When I reel it, it will make a clicking noise when the spool is in the highest position and in the lowest position. Is this fixable or just poor quality?

I believe that reel retails for around $60. A cleaning/lube/inspection is $16.20 for forum members. Parts and shipping additional. Anything worn or broken can be replaced as part of the service if necessary. Let me know if I can help.

That sounds like a pretty good deal, but the reel is so cheap I could half buy a new one ( I got it on close out at a local shop for around $30)! I actually service all my own reels. But for that price I will definitely consider any more expensive reels I own if they ever need repaired.

Probably a silly question, but do you have line on the reel? If you do, and use the little plastic line holder on the spool, sometimes the tag end of the line will hit the rotor or bail when it rotates, causing a clicking sound.

FWIW, the Regal is a pretty nice reel for the money. I've had a little 1000 on my UL rod for a few years now with no complaints at all. I think I paid about $27 for it, on clearance at Sports Authority.

I agree it's border line worth it to send off. If you look into it and need a hand give a shout.

Tore it down this afternoon to do a thorough cleaning and see if that would help. I found that the screw securing the oscillating slider to the main shaft was loose, so after I had disassembled and thouroughly cleaned it, I tightened it down solid. Now there's no clicking sound.
