This is my first time servicing a spinning reel. For reference I followed a 2500HG youtube video from @WhereWeWild. Im pretty confident I followed everything to the T and it all fit back nicely. But now Im not sure if the reel was always this noisy. It seems to spin well and feels smooth and Im think Im being paranoid. It’s a $30 reel after all. Lmk what you think!

I have a Shimano Vanford that now retails for $284 and it makes a similar sound when reeling in when the line is wet or has a fish on it. Other than that it works great.
