I took my bantam out for the first time and when I go to reel something in 1 out of every 4 retrieved it sounds like it is clicking inside. It’s either in the worm gear or most likely the gear box. Does anyone have some solutions to this because I’m not crazy good with reel mechanics?
Sounds like there is a broken tooth on a gear or something is out of place or loose. You'll need to break it down to see. Try removing the spool and then see if it's still there. May also be then line guide worm gear. Flush with alcohol and blow it out.

Is it brand new or just new to you? Dan
