I received a new shimano  curado 300 ej for x-mass.  I can hear a very slight clicking sound in free spool.  I haven't put on line yet.  It will spin for 5 seconds.  Is this normal. should I send it back to shimano, oil it? any ideas.

It my be the spool jumping The pinion gear. As for free spool that is slow. I can get a 45+ sec free spool out of my clients reels. Let me know if you need anything. I can super tune it as well.

Brand new???   
I would walk it into a Tackle shop (Shimano Service center) or Irvine, Ca Shimano & trade it in..

Try them out before you take one... 
No reason to start out with a new expensive real that doesnt feel smoooth all around....

Should be a No Questions exchange..................

For some reason this seems to be a familiar problem with new curado's  i had a problem with the pinion gear jumping with mine it took me a while to find the problem.read this thread for some insights,

 most reels work basically the same so you may want to study any reels with the same problem on this site or send it off to CO for a tune up,or if you got it locally take it back
