Makes me even more concerned now because I ordered it from ebay and have ask for an exchange to try another one. But not confident I will get one that will work. Feeling like I will be dealing with this reel for awhile.
Ya I had an issue with the anti-reverse, sent it back they sent me a new one and had the same thing happen then I just got a refund and got one for retail at TW with no issues at all so must have been some sort of factory defect I guess. Didn't have a problem with noise though from what I can remember.
