Hey!
I bought a "new (open box)" tatula on ebay. Cosmetically the reel looks 100% brand new, I can't find any blemishes at all. It feels very smooth, the tws is work perfectly, everything seems to be in order.
The only "imperfection" I can find is if the reel is tilted towards the handle side, there is a very faint grinding sound. If it's tilted in the other direction, there's no noise whatsoever.
Is this normal or should I look into getting it replaced?
I can't feel the grinding at all in the handle, it's just a very quiet grinding sound and having never handled one in store, I'm not certain if it's normal.
If someone with a tatula could let me know I'd really appreciate it!
Cheers
