Im in the market for a new inshore reel for mainly trout and reds. Ik both of these reels are overkill but I want something really nice (I already have a luvias, stradic, and a sustain). So which reel is better in your opinion. Which reel do you think lasts longer, is more corrosion resistant (will ...

Maybe I just got a dud or it was banged up during shipping. The reel is in the shop and I should get it back by Friday.

I talked to the lady at the reel repair shop and she said that Shimano bearings of the have the noise problem and she'll upgrade all the bearings to mmb bearings free of charge.

Thanks for the reply, the reel is brand new which is my this is kind of frustrating. I've fished with it once. I'm going to a reel repair shop to have it looked at today.

I'm looking to purchase a 7'2 mh envy green for inshore use targeting mostly trout and reds. There's not a lot of info online. Are they good? Are there better options? I also hear that the guides can be a turn off for some. Share your opinions.
Thanks
