At full deflection, my Middy Micro Muscle float rod creaks like a galleon in a gale! I tried in vain to identify the cause while I was using it - without getting to the bottom of it - but was starting to wonder whether it's the rings or ringing; or possibly that the 8lb mainline is starting to wear out, although there are no obvious signs. That particular spool was filled several years ago and has only ever seen light use, being stored in the reel bag between times. I confess that I haven't checked the rings individually, so it could be a cracked liner, I suppose. Time to get the lighted magnifier out to assist my bat-eyes, maybe.
Anyone else got or had a creaky rod?
