Hey guys, so far I have stumped everyone I have talked to about this. I'm wait to hear back from Hatch but figured I give it a whirl here.
My 1 year old Hatch Finatic 7+ has developed an odd "screech" to it when stripping line off the reel. It started last week and seems to only do it when the temps are below 45ish (F) and the drag is tightened atleast 1/2way.
I have checked all the obvious things like sand/dirt/gunk between the spool and frame, I cant find any metal to metal contact so nothing is bent, not that I think you could bend a Hatch with out running it over with a truck.
Doesnt make the noise when retrieving line and truely seems temp dependant. Drove from fishing (making noise) to my home fly shop with reel in my truck and wouldnt make the noise. Parked truck overnight with reel in truck and it made the noise when it was cold, again drove to the shop and no noise, LMAO.
Reel feels and works like normal otherwise.
Anyone have any idea or similar issues???
Thanks
