Weird noise in drag

[hunterPRO1]

Today when I started fishing I checked my drag to make sure it was set and when it started coming out it make a screeching loud noise, 

 

Any ideas ? Needs grease ?

That's a dry drag system and even so it shouldn't be screeching. How tight was the drag? Is the AR working correctly? Did it do this just the one time? 

[hunterPRO1]

drag was probably around half tight, it doesnt do it when loose but once you start to tighten it it does.

 

what does AR stand for ?

 

it functions fine, casts good, reels good, just that drag.

 

so should some grease make that all fine ?

That system doesn't use grease. It may need cleaning. I'd have to see it to diagnose further. I realize it's an inexpensive reel probably not worth sending in. If you're comfortable taking it apart go ahead and reach out if you get stuck.

when i get time i might message a pic of the insides to you to see if you can spot a problem.
