I bought my first Van Stall (250) this year and have been lucky enough to find time to put quite a few hours on it. When it was new, i noticed that it was fairly stiff but I have since noticed that the spool and the spool cup that rotates when you crank the handle have loosened up and can be rocked back and forth a little. I noticed it while jigging last night, I could actually feel the bump of the spool rocking to where it stopped against the baring every time I worked the jig.

Is this normal for a VS once they break in? It doesn't seem like it's anything I can tighten up with out opening the case?
