    My new lexa 300 is making kind of a screaming sound when i cast. I am using 25lb mono. Is it just the line going out or is it a problem? Thanks

      Be more long term if you use oil or wd40

      It may come back, mine went away for a while, what it is is the rubber break is really dry and is vibrating, kind of like when you use an eraser, it may go away ...more temporarily if it gets wet, but it will

      @LunkerLander i went fishing today and all of a sudden the problem stopped... My reel now casts further and is silent...

      I've had the same problem, try unscrewing the friction break knob all the way and oiling both sides heavily while letting the oil deep down into the break system

      Could be your breaks, if they are centrifugal it could possibly make that sound if they are the only force slowing the reel down

      It may just be the big diameter line screaming through the line guide just try some smaller line like I said it should take the sound away

      How does the noise sound?

      But switch to a lighter line like 15 or 12 and see if it does it. If it does you know you have a problem cause it should be silent with mono

      I could see it making a noise if you were useing braid but your using mono. I have a lexa 100 with 20lb mono spooled on it and it's silent. I'm bout to put ...more 15lb flouro on it.

      Id be using 20lb mono or less its probably the line when you're casting out

      Probably just the line going out. Try and loosen up your braking and free spool it.
