So I need help with some of my bait casting reels (Lews Mach 1 speed spool, Abu Garcia blackmax and silvermax) almost all of them have this strange noise that happens if I reel a bit hard usually without a lure tied on. It’s almost like a gears rubbing together noise and I tried some troubleshooting myself and I thought it was my pinion gear and that it needed some oiling. After some oiling it didn’t really do anything and started happening to some other reels too. Is this because of using my baitcasting reels in the salt or some other issue? I just got a Tatula 100H and don’t want to ruin it by using it in the salt so please try and help. P.S. I wash and wipe down every reel.
