mag extra

[a.g.]

is there any tackle snops in ncstle area could have a look at my mag extra .after about a dozen trips out its not as quiet or smooth as it used to be. cheers

[codseeker]

either salt or sand in it if not may need new bearings or cleaned

[g-force]

It could just be (if the reel is pretty new) that it's time to oil the bearings - easy enough to do with the oil of your choice. If you're in any doubt, the man to see would be Ronnie at I D Fishing in Byker.

Also bear in mind that the Penns are fairly noisy reels anyway - I've got a couple of 525's and they're way noisier than any of my Daiwas & Abus. I've fished with some lads whose 525s really scream; just the nature of the beast I reckon.

Cheers, Gary

Miine's as quiet as a church mouse, me mate's is too. On the other hand my 535 GS is noisy but that has the centrifugal brake blocks in.
