Fishing Tips & Advice

Hey there. I’m looking for some advice regarding a Penn Pursuit reel... I picked one up about a month ago specifically for some light saltwater jigging, but after only ten hours of actual use, the reel has started making this incredibly annoying sound. It happens right at the moment the spool drops, almost like a distinct creak or a sort of rhythmic squeak... I actually tried taking it back to the shop where I bought it, but they just brushed me off and told me that it's perfectly normal behavior for this model. Personally, I can't help but feel that a piece of equipment like this shouldn't be changing its operational state after just a few hours on the water... because if I truly wanted a reel that came with its own built-in soundtrack, I probably would have just spent $50$33 instead of paying $133 for this. So, if anyone out there has any insight or advice on what might be going on, I'd really appreciate it...
