A Tick When Retrieving

[Mercer007]

Hi,

I have a ticking sound when I retrieve with my Daiwa Emcast.

Any sugestions.

A bit hard to diagnose via posts...

I'd be checking the various springs to make sure none have come loose. It could be a damaged gear (maybe a broken tooth or something)... or a foreign body in a gear or inside the reel somewhere.

Is the ticking noise coming from the body or the spool area?

Cheers, Slinky

Stewy - you kill me!

on a serious note

it depends on how old your gear is - I have an old (& I mean old) Diawa reel & it clicks on retrieve. could be a part of the way it was designed originally - I can stop it but I cant remember how - I am older that the reel guess that explains it

Hi Pete, that noise almost sounds too regular, have you double checked that the handle is missing the bail arm, I remember the noise whilst fishing next to you and it may be something to double check..

if it is once every rotation of the handle, and at exactly the same spot, then you have a piece of something caught in the teeth of the main gear, or a tooth of the main gear is damaged. hope for the former. alan

The best thing to do with an undiagnosed tick is to keep scratching your head when retrieving.

Hilarious.

Having the reel serviced professionally, thanks for the imput guys, you crack me up.
