Location: Ashland WI | I have an older (10 years?) Shimano Catala. When I am casting, it makes a louder "whirring" noise. I downloaded a Shimano maintenance guide, and lubed where it said to. I have tried to put all of the "brakes" in or out. Nothing has worked. The reel works smoothly and quietly on retrieve.
Any ideas? |

On the cast it is the Spool Brakes or the Spool bearings. |

Not a bad idea, but it might cost more than the reel is worth. |

I tried pushing all the brakes down, and taking the one brake off that does not go down. Still made the noise. Maybe it is bearings. |

| I have a smaller Catala. The first one I bought the gears would occasionally grind/touch on the cast, sounded horrible. Returned it for a new one. It does it occasionally as well, just not as often. From checking online, this was not an uncommon problem, which was too bad because it's a solid reel otherwise. If I were you, I'd be satisfied I got ten years out of it and save up for a new reel. |
