Title: Penn 16 VS Squall Squeal
Post by: carls on May 27, 2017, 05:17:11 PM
While putting 65 lb braid on a brand new Penn 16 VS the reels starts to make an intermittent high-pitch squealing noise. Is this something I can easily fix or should it go back to Penn now?  Carl

  Hard to say . Is the noise from the reel , or is it the braid singing ..    Pulling line through the guides ?   joe

check the lip of the spool and see if it's been rubbing.

Noise is definitely from the reel - on the handle side.  Don't see any wear makes in the spool lip. I'll have to remove the spool to check.
Thank you for the help.
