Shimano Calcutta 300TE clicking/ticking sound when casting.

I have an abu garcia 7000C3 in now that has that sound. It is the pinion and spool pin making the noise.m

4 mm is a lot of spool adjustment.  I'm surprised it would work at all.

OK here's the thing in my case.     I had an extra spacer under the left hand side spool bearing which I placed there myself to solve another small problem.   It solved that problem, but created another one that I only discovered much later.

Although I still do not know precisely what was causing the "ticking" the spool was moved 4mm more to the right hand side, (towards the gears and pinion) so that does indicate that perhaps it was the pinion that was actually making the sound.

Check it out in that area!

Hi Cor!

Finally I sent the reel to Shimano. They wrote that it was a bad lewelwind. There was a small almost not noticeable "nag" on it.

This is now a while back, but it was Spacer B (BNT0694) which I had replaced with a thicker one, so the total adjustment was the difference between the original and the new one, whatever that was I don't know.

Nevertheless, in my case that definitively solved the problem.

I trust yours is now also "fixed" Drisse?
