They've always been out of balance. 
I'll bet that the line roller still sounds like it's full of sand even when brand new, too.  |

Yeah, you go through the trouble (actually, not a lot of trouble) of taking the spring off the drag clicker, and that line roller still tells the world for about a quarter mile around, on a quiet night, that you're into fish.  |

Pack the roller assembly with grease and it is not only as quiet as a church mouse but it also silky smooth. I only dealt with the noise for an outing or two before I figured out a fix, and I never understood why this didn't become a common practice to fix the noise issue. I figure guys were already adding grease to the main body, why wouldn't they think to add some to the roller as well? |
