mconn11 Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Has anyone else received a Conquest MD300 and noticed it making a ticking noise through about 2 of every 3 turns? It sounds like it's coming from something in the non-handle/centrifugal braking side. The only odd thing is that it doesn't make the noise if it's upsids down, which makes me think there's something loose in the reel or having to do with the cog/spool support assembly in the non-handle side of the reel. Brakes engaged/disenaged, tension cap maxed down/off, doesn't matter, so it doesn't appear to be caused by the spool itself or have anything to do with the brakes. Normally I don't mind taking apart reels, but it seems a bit silly to take apart a $600 reel when it's brand new...any thoughts are appreciated before I return it.

chevro1et Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 I would at least take the spool out, put side plate back on, and turn the handle to see if it persists. Might be a bulge / bend on the rim of the spool rubbing on the frame or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayes Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 I’ve had mine for a few weeks now haven’t had any problems or heard any noises coming from it. Hope you figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
