I also heard quite a few other ones grinding and binding over the year. Honestly I was rough on it because it was under warranty and I wanted to know how it would hold up over time. IMO the reel is poorly sealed, I did oil it infrequently . But to me the Saragosa 10K is a great reel you shouldn't get wet..for a ton less. I also have a Saltiga Z4500 and that was under water and in sand/surf a ton this year too , I sent that out for service and it needed no parts..none. Just a clean and reassemble, thats impressive to me. That little reel is on my eel rod and saw alot of underwater, sandy waves etc..has me wishing I got a 6500GT instead of the Stella.
