I have had loads of the mag 2s from New both 525 and 515 and some run mint some are really noises no matter what you do mate

If you do choose to get new bearings, pop into Northumbrian Bearings in Crammy; take the old ones & they'll measure them for you & tell you what options they've got...s/s, ceramic, etc.

COULD IT BE THE RATCHET COMING ON AS YOU CAST, 1 OF MY PEN MAG S DOES IT OCCASIONALLY,, BUT IF IT IS THE BEARINGS THERE IS A PLACE NOT FAR FROM YOU AT BILL QUAY THAT SELL THE BEARINGS

Had the same prob with one of my mag xtras,changed bearings ,tried different ways of putting the line on.In the end got a different spool as the origonal one was well out of balance.

[cod magnet]

try getting a new spindle what the spool runs on , it usually does the job

[CHUKKA]

Thorough clean, balance the spool, hump line in middle, both sides and fill level, and make sure you put thick oil on the spindle to stop the bearings spinning on themself. Should work, place at cramlington does the bearings for a couple of quid, get abec 5 stainless, don't waste your money on Ceramics

[jack555]

Set it up with the spool left out and see if the pinion comes back properly when you slot it into free spool if they don't it's time to clean the pinions and spindles up with a bit of fine emery and and oil

All of my reels screech when I cast, I thought that was normal !!
