When you oiled the bearings did you take them out? I had the same problem with my Slosh 20 a while back, it turned out that the bearing on the handle side had collapsed and had rusted on the side that was not visible.

If you take out the handle side bearing the clip has a tendency to escape. I use a needle to take it out and hold the reel inside a clear polythene bag so it can't get away. To oil the bearing properly you will need to remove it. It may still have grease in it from new, if this is the case soak it in some degreaser (lighter fuel does the job) wipe and re-oil. If the noise is only during casting it is unlikely that it is anything else than the bearing.

yeah noise is only heard when casting,,no noise anywhere else,even when reeling in ,very smooth.

Had an abu mag III that was the same it would sound dead gritty for a while after oiling the bearings
