Title: Cedros 10S
Post by: Squiggy on August 08, 2015, 07:25:12 AM
Hello,

I just bought a used Cedros 10S (star drag) but something doesn't sound right about it. It's kinda has a rough mechanical sound to the gears. It freespools great and the drags are smooth. It's just really loud compared to my newer 12S. I took it apart and cleaned it up. Lubed everything really well.

Does anyone have any ideas? Does it sound like the pinion and drive gear arent working well? I've got a thread going on over at Bloodydecks. I posted a video up there to compare the "loudness" of the 10 versus 12.

It's going back to Okuma but I just thought I'd see what someone else thinks.
Thanks!
Mike
