BeardedBassGuy Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 just got a bps pro qualifier beginning of this year and i oiled the spool ends and bearings the other day and now sometimes when i reel it sounds like the reel is gurgling or like it has water in it. it has only happened a couple of times, dosnt seem to effect the reel at all but its kinda bothering me. anybody else ever have this problem? Thanks in advance! Joe Quote
Jaderose Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 I can honestly say my PQ has never gurgled at me Quote
Jon G Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 You most likely put way to much oil in it. The bearings only need 1 very small drop of oil. Flush the bearings and put a small drop of oil in them. Quote
WPCfishing Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Just sit it in your lap and tap on it. After it burps the gurgling will stop. 5 Quote

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Unless you filled the entire gear case with oil (in which case it would leak out anyway) I doubt the sound is oil related or actually a "gurgle" at all. I would use the reel and just monitor it closely. Have it deep cleaned if the sound persists or gets worse or any other symtoms develope. Quote

Hey Mike, I was wondering, How many people do you have in the shop doing the reel services? Why wouldn't you recommend the OP to send you his reel for a cleaning and inspection? Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I do all the reel work and rod building here personally. I go out of my way to be helpful on the forums and not solely drum up business in every post. I would of course appreciate being the choice if the OP comes to the point of needing to send the reel out. Thank you for prompting me to clarify! 2 Quote
BeardedBassGuy Posted August 8, 2015 Author Posted August 8, 2015 Thank you everyone. i took it out today and it didnt make the noise once, im assuming it was somthing to do with the oil becasue it didnt make that sound before. but now seems good, thanks again! Quote
