Hi can someone please help. I brought some brand new diawa tournament 5000t a couple of months ago. And I have used them about 5 times. But last couple of sessions two out the three reels have been making a screeching grinding noise when reeling in my fish less rig. I know people refer to these as coffee grinders bur these are near brand new. Should they be sounding like this? It doesn't sound healthy and doesn't feel healthy either I dont know if it's just because if the loud screeching but I'm sure they feel rough. Any help would be really appreciated. Tia

The rubber grommets squeal like pigs in an abattoir. You need a tiny smear of vaseline on the shafty bit.

Its all part of ownership - the reel or spool is not damaged its just the rubber ring doing its job; and that's negating springy line getting under the spool unlike most modern reels.
Stick with em - solid reels and a pleasure to crank fish with IMO

Best reels out there mate, why would you have pu chased something newer and smoother that doesnt screetch, and wobble, for less money, when you could buy “the best” and look super old school

French chalk works on the rubbers too

I put greased lighting (line silicon lubricant) and all is well, jus a periodic application to keep the squealing at bay!

I never liked them when they first came on the market. Now I just hate them.

Had a customer do this and for a year he had nothing but problems with the line (ta sbx to be fair) going under the spool. The noise is worth putting up with for the simple fact the line guards work well
Should have added he has had them put back on now !

Lol - you really hate Tournies and Tourney users don't you Paul! Do you drive an electric / hybrid car and have a ring door bell account?
