Hi i have just bought some power aero, and all 3 have a distinctive knocking noise when your reeling. Now i know its the handle going into the gears as when its tight there is some slight movement( if you hold reel body and move handle you will see). this causes the knocking/tapping noise internally. Now, is this normal, ive been told it is but i just wondered what peoples experiences are? it would see odd to get 3 brand new reels that all had an 'Issue'. Also made in japan you expect any sort f quality control to be better than non japan made reels.
I am being anal maybe?
any feedback is appreciated

My handles will make a knocking noise, from the play in the handle if I reel in quickly?

If all three are the same I would very much doubt it was a quality control problem.

Did email Weston re the handles.
Never got a reply 🙈
At £75 a pop you would think they would at least reply.
When we are all trying to give business to UK companies and move away from Chinese tat it is really disappointing tbh.

If you wanted a reel that's noisy on the retrieve and has folding handles you should've stuck with tournaments

Just get bored easy. No perfect reel that's the problem. Always end up back with tournies. Shame you need to buy shallow spools and line clips thats all. Wouldn't cost alot for daiwa to do an original shallow spool and a proper line clip
