Welcome to the forum. I have 5 Heliums :D and have no "rattles" :? Maybe Trey or Cliff will reply?

I have a He70MLC and don't remember a "rattle" but I seem to remember a clicking or popping sound around the middle guide when I first got it and when the you loaded it. I asked Trey about it and I believe he said it was the expoy around the guide feet. I think he said they don't use an acetone to "cut" the excess and because of that you'll get the "clicking" or "popping" sound from it stretching but it won't affect the rod. If that is not a description of what you hear then I would ask Trey about it.

clicking

Guys,

Chavez is correct. Sometimes on the more flexible rods, you will hear a clicking sound coming from the guide because the epoxy is in a very solid form. We decided a long time ago not to thin the epoxy out with acetone which changes the qualities of the epoxy's life.

If it bothers you, then feel free to send it back for a refund. We want you to be a satisfied customer.

Thanks,
Trey

I just checked mine again this weekend when I visited the swamp pond. I remember specifying the "Southern version" and mine play's DIXIE! :)
