New to baitcasters. Picked up a used Daiwa Tatula SV TW103 (from Japan) and did a full clean/oil/grease over winter.

Noticing some noise on retrieve—just trying to figure out if that’s normal for this reel or if I messed something up.

  1. To me it only sounds like the braid is sending vibration into the reel on the retrieve. I dont hear anything out of the ordinary, seems completely normal.  If you want to get rid of some of that vibration use 8 strand braid instead of 4 strand. You can also upload a video from your bedroom with the line taped to the spool of rotation and then we can hear the reel not under load. This isnt quite the best audio for discerning problem noises from normal ones.
