    Tatula sv 20 casting noise?

    Out fishing yesterday and seems like my tatula sv 20 model (6.3:1) is making some noise on harder cast, I don’t notice when pitching or roll casting close quarters but seems like when spool gets spun faster/harder it’s making some noise. Do these reels need some bearing oil out of the package and if so recommended product?? Reel is only a month or two old.

    If it's a raspy noise then the bearings could use a flush and oiling. If it a hum then the spool would be out of balance from using tape to secure like to the spool.

    No tape on spool, and wasn’t doing it untill yesterday. Thinking it’s bearings. Would it be just the one on inside of side plate and the other on handle side??

    Yes. Likely the handle side spool bearing. Take both spool bearings out, flush clean and put one drop of oil in each.

    Mine made noise on the cast. First try at a fix I heavily greased them still noise. 2nd try changed both bearings noise went away.
