spool "whistling"

[TimH]

What are some common solutions to spools that "scream" or "whistle"

[kamuwela]

first thought that comes to mind is a bad bearing

actually ended up being the centrifugal brakes. one of them was scraping the spool casing causing it make that noise.

I had the same problem with my Curado 201e7.  Owner of the local tackle shop told me that the cetrifugal brake pins could rattle around and make a wizzing noise as well.  Anyone else ever hear that?

I do a lot of Rebuilds and upgrades to small & Med reels..   
Lots of Ceramic Hybrid bearings in the Spools..

I hear that Wizzing a lot..  Fast Spool!!!!

Also,
The Newer Shimano DC reels have a wire winding & magnets in the left side.  This generates enough electricity to power the Digital Control...   
Sounds like an electric motor with no load revving up!! Cool!!!!

A clean Q-tip, a few drops of light oil will fix the brake chatter.
Just a run the a-tip around the brake ring and also open all the brakes, put a drop of light oil at the base, then close what ever many brakes u like. This will help the brakes that are open to fully extent & retract the same way.
Hope this helps

Yes, in low profiles and in the newer style Ambassadeur round reels with the 6 brake puck system.  Ive actually found that the pucks fly off the poorly made plastic shafts in these newer reels.
