Spinning reel, "bumps" in retrieve
This week I'm test driving the Pflueger President 30 size spinning reel. It's smooth as silk... except for one annoying issue.

I previously noted this issue in my review of the Avocet II Silver. It is less evident in the President, but it's still glaringly there.

I'm talking about a certain "bump" or "clang" that is felt sporadically in the reel while retrieving. It is more noticeable when cranking in heavier lures. It is also more noticeable when cranking at a moderate speed (not slow and not burning fast). No, it is not the action of the lure. No, it is not nibbles from fish. It's a slight bumping sensation coming from the reel itself.

I hope someobody knows what I'm talking about. Is it normal? If it is, I don't think it's acceptable! I have reels from the 1980s that retrieve without this random clang, bump sensation.
