CNORG Posted April 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Ok it’s not the line itself, I have spoiled up multiple lines. I checked guides for looseness, nothing. Not using raid on flourocarbon and monofilament. Ran a Q-Tip through each guide no chips. But water is still cold was 50s today but that doesn’t mean water was. I’m fishing multiple lures such as battle shad 7.5 deps 250 hinkle shad etc and does it for all of them. Do you think it’s my guides freezing or something?

Volfan Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Just checking basic physics - if it was 50 degrees, the guides weren't freezing. If it's fresh mono/flouro, and it's not a vibrating like lure that you're not used to, and you don't have a loose guide or insert...it's you.

David R Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 Is this your first spiral wraped rod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
365swimbait Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 the crackling noise is probably coming from the line being rewound back on to your spool, more than likely nothing is wrong with the rod. On the retrieve, you're level wind is filling the mono or floro back in to uneven crevices of the spool causing the crackling noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNORG Posted April 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 It is possible but I pulled the line strictly through the eyelets only and left the reel cause i know how much sound the reel makes and it still made the sound a little bit.

SPEEDBEAD Posted April 12, 2018 Report Share Posted April 12, 2018 I think you're making too big a deal out of it. Just fish it. You've verified everything is structurally sound. BOZ, evilcatfish, Nick S. and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDBEAD Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Make a video of it so people can know exactly what it is that's so concerning. bassfiend72 and Low&Slow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNORG Posted April 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 Ok can’t take a video right now but, this is exactly what happens and i will explain it in best detail. I head to the pond, cast about 3 times, doesn’t really make any noise, then i started reeling and reeling and it makes a crackling sound as being reeling to the side up or down, not straight at bait obviously cause it doesn’t touch eyelets. It’s like the line is frayed moving through the guides but it isn’t. Today it was 80 and it made the noise. Also once the rod is out of the water for like 5 minutes of no casts it makes a horrible squeaky noise when reeled up the rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thastickybandit Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 if you have any line conditioner maybe spray your eyelets and guides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfla Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Check the blank for damage. Split fibers in the blank can make a terrible racket. Carefully bend the rod and look for splinters sticking up. Had a similar problem and that was the culprit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
