it either sounds like the spring is pushing in your clicker ever so slightly (did you tighten the screw that holds the spring on the reel?). Or you got sand or something in there.

dont tighten the spring. If it was already over tightened this would have caused it to malfunction (pressed the spring dow so it doesnt spring back). I would check the spring out. Possibly loosen the screw a little bit and then re tighten back to where it is now.
