Sstoryjr Posted December 14, 2020 Report Share Posted December 14, 2020 Has anyone found the reel to be noisy? I took a look at 2 separate 3000 Vanfords and both had a loud bearing noise when spinning the handle. Sound was super annoying and I returned it. Was curious if anyone else’s were noisy PrimoFishin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSuperApe Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Just got the 2500 and took it out for a little test run. Super smooth. 10lb power pro super slick v2 on it.

KevansBacon Posted January 2, 2021 Report Share Posted January 2, 2021 Did you notice a difference in castability with any of the new technology? I strung my C2000 with 4# Maxima Ultra Green but haven't taken her afield as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrimoFishin Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Had the same problem with my 3000 it’s sounds like it needs grease. Some people are telling me possibly line roller bearing. Sucks right out the box when spooling it I could here grinding and weird noises. Someone help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig It Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 My vanford c5000 is very smooth, but I did experience roller bearing noise during higher tension reeling. I did find numerous examples online of similar noise on Shimano reels and daiwas. Also, some braids are more noisy than others in this regard from what I found. As the roller bearing broke in the noise became much less noticable. Does not appear to effect performance. PrimoFishin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
