Being a spinning reel the spool shouldn't move, therefore shouldn't affect whether it squeaks or not? I'm confused  ??? ???

Try removing the rotor seal above the retaining nut and lubricating the main-shaft.

It may be the case that the extra load of the attached spool is causing increased friction on a dry shaft.
