Question for you Van Staal owners:

I have been noticing a slight scraping noise when retrieving at high speed. It happens every revolution of the handle when cranking fast. Almost sounds 'dry', but I have noticed no oil leaks. The reel is less than a month old. Is this 'normal' for these reels. I really don't want to send it in, especially this time of year - but don't want to prematurely kill it either. Thanks.
