BassBossMN Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 When Im casting my Revo S it just sounds a little on the loud side so I was wondering if they have a history of being loud or did i get a dud? if it makes a difference im using 10lb mono Quote
BassBossMN Posted May 10, 2014 Author Posted May 10, 2014 How old is it? 5 Months i havent taken it out on the water yet its been sitting in my basement most of the time Quote
livetofish28 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Hmmmm that is not normal then for a brand new reel have you casted it all? Quote
JWOA Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 ill throw this question in here "reel" quick...lol. How do you set the breaks on those things? Quote
livetofish28 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 ill throw this question in here "reel" quick...lol. How do you set the breaks on those things? They're centrifugal pop off the slide plate and engage them Tight lines Andrew Quote
BassBossMN Posted May 10, 2014 Author Posted May 10, 2014 Hmmmm that is not normal then for a brand new reel have you casted it all? In the backyard but no more than 20 casts. Is the sound being caused by having the 3 pitch breaks turned on? the reel came lubricated and i havent taken it apart at all Quote
livetofish28 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 The brakes shouldn't do that. Comfortable are you with opening up a reel? Quote
BassBossMN Posted May 10, 2014 Author Posted May 10, 2014 If it helps fix the issue then yes i am comfortable.. Quote
livetofish28 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 I would look and see if there is something between the spool and the side plate that may have been picked up when being casted in the yard if you don't see anything that could do it I would contact Abu Garcia/pure fishing and they will take care of you Tight lines Andrew Quote

livetofish28 Posted May 10, 2014 Posted May 10, 2014 Is the noise coming from the reel or the rods? Mono is generally on the quieter side of rods compared to braid Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted May 11, 2014 Super User Posted May 11, 2014 Check that your side plate is secure. The spring screw on the right side of the reel that allows you to remove the side plate may be loose. That happens alot on my revo S. When you secure that screw the noise goes away. At least it does for me when the noise happens. Quote

I cranked down on the screw and made sure it was super tight and to my surprise it was gone. Thanks for all the help everyone! Quote
