Steez TW ticking sound/vibration

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Removed all the original bearings, including the roller bearing, and installed the zillion1000 bearings. No difference at all. Same ticking vibration and very faint sound when the spool is under load. It is not the spool either because i have tried at least 4 different spools :|
Thats a ridiculous amount of work to have to do on a top tier model. I'm putting my SV on marketplace and letting it be someone elses problem.

Examine the plastic piece that goes through the tension knob (zero adjuster), when I researched this DEEP as possible, there was a guy who had an identical problem with his Ryoga. He also thought it was the spool pin rocking back and forth. Finally got a message from him, but he has been inactive on here for years. I think Tackle Trap fixed it for him, was a deformed plastic piece where I mentioned. It should have been round, but was squared a bit and causing ticking. I just hope the bushings solve my Steez A issue.

When digging online, i fund the Ryoga thread you're referring to, and did swap it. Made no difference. If they do fix yours, let us know what was done.

My steez sv tw started ticking when I dropped in a zpi spool. Turned out the spool was sensitive to how tight the zero adjuster was. Sounds like your problem may run deeper.

I suggest using a mechanic’s stethoscope to identify where the sound emanates from, they are affordable and definitely help pinpoint noises. Just a thought.

Wouldn't need, its coming around the pinion gear area.
