Daiwa Lexa 100 Noise

Post by Taxin That Bass » Wed Apr 29, 2015 11:51 pm

I have always been a Shimano guy, but TWH has Lexa's on sale for $70 and I coudn't pass it up as I had heard they are good reels. I got the reel the other day, took it out of the box and gave the handle a spin and it makes a clearly audible noise, almost a clinking noise when I give the handle a spin. I'm having a hard time identifying where the noise is coming from, but it almost sounds like it is coming from the spool, like something is catching in it. I haven't opened the reel up, was thinking about just sending it back but wanted to see if anyone has experienced this noise right out of the box. So far not impressed with my first Daiwa :|
