Calcutta 50 TE clicking

On retrieve, the reel has developed a rhythmic clicking noise. I lubed the spool bearings to no avail....removed the spool and the noise changes character to a soft whine with muted clicking.

Any suggestions...I'd like to try lubing the gears but the fingers don't work like they used to.

Favorite Long out of Production Rod?

Re: Hard to find part for 100dc

To clarify my situation---I bought a Calcutta 250DC handle to replace the handle on my 100DC and it is a huge improvement for me. My cheapest reel by far is a Curado 100D with which I have caught several 8,9, and 10's. (Doesn't it seem like the biggest fish always hit the cheapest reel---I'm sure if...
