    Default Abu Garcia noise when casting

    So I was using an abu Garcia pro max yesterday and it was making a buzzing/gear noise when I would cast and have a small vibration, but it's smooth reeling back in. Would anyone happen to know what would make it do that? It's maybe 2 years old

    It's more than likely one of the little tabs rubbing on your brake. Lubricate your break ring. You will hear everyone say bearings. I will bet lunch it has nothing to do with bearings. Brakes are the first place I would check.

    The brake pads may be worn to nothing. I had the same problem with several of mine

    I rarely use this reel though. I'd have a hard time seeing a $80 reel wear out already

    That $80 dollar reel was junk coming out of the box
    Seeing these soulless vanilla ice lookin Yankees on a bassboat is worse than watching a woman get her implants taken out. It's just wrong. Get back in your Lund and go back to infisherman.

    True that.

    Steez is just an expensive piece of junk

    When my reel makes a funny noise I normally dunk it into the water a few times.....cures the noise.
