I have had that happen with a Mitchell (made by Pure fishing). In my case, the oscillating slider has side to side play. If this is the case, the main shaft should wiggle a bit, and the clicking noise will occur when the spool is closest and farthest from the rotor during reeling. Hope it makes sense, and this is probably only one of 100 problems that can cause clicking. the reel is still useable, but annoying.
