Based on that short vid it looks to spin well and without wobble.  But, I agree with the other guys here... It's probably best to fess up to your mistake and you'll likely get a much better response than if your buddy was to find something wrong with the reel after the fact...   :)

Call him or meet up and tell the truth.  No way out of a mistake like that. 

I'd be upset but would forgive and respect a friend who came and told me the truth.

I'd be CHOKED and would NOT forgive a friend who tried to hide the truth in a situation like that.

You sound like a good guy who cares about his friends equipment but made a mistake. 

Tell him so.

Just my 2 cents.

Dude, we're all grownups here.
Looks like you're not ready to join the club.

a friend would own up to damaging his gear.  He was nice enough to trust you with his gear, now you need to do the right thing.

He'll know something is not right with the reel, especially since you mentioned he's meticulous about the way he takes care of it. I'm the same with all my gear. One time I put my rod down and when I picked it up, I felt a nick on the back of my centerpin. It was the size of a grain of sand, but I still noticed it.
