Mitchell 300 Spinning Fishing Reel

This is a great reel. I've had an old model of the Mitchell 300 for over 30 years. Great reel, but its time has passed. This new version is lighter, smoother and quieter. Although I don't use it often, anti-reverse is instant and silent. The reel still has a lever to disable anti-reverse. Apparently Shimano is moving away from this and making anti-reverse permanent. Unacceptable, many old-timers like being able to turn anti-reverse on or off. The reel winds the line nicer than the original 300 and the skirted spool keeps from the line from getting behind the spool like the old model. Yes, the body is plastic, but it is lighter. It is a tough modern plastic and nothing to worry about. I wish it came with two spools, but for the price you can't beat it. I bought three of these reels. I called Mitchell and got some extra spools at a reasonable price. In my opinion, this is a good reel for a 5 to 6.5 foot pole. I use it with 10, 15, and 20lbs test braided line. If you are new to fishing, you could put this reel on a $40 Ugly Stick rod and be completely happy with it until you turn pro. No need to spend a fortune to get a great rod and reel.

Carrete con buena construcción, ligero en general muy bueno recomendable

par contre, ce qui est à surveiller est la vis pour vissé la poigné, elle se lousse occasionnellement donc, avant de pêché et de lancé les premiers coups de bien checké si votre vis pour la poigné du moulinet est bien serré. À part ce petit détail cet article est "Perfect"

Better build quality than my 50 year old Mitchell 300 reel. So smooth in it’s function.Incredible reel, good value as well.

I bought this reel for my grandson. He and I go fishing 3 or 4 days per week, and he has gotten to the point where he needs professional style equipment. This reel is great value. He wanted a Mitchell reel like I have, so I got him one. I have owned my current Mitchell 300 reel for more than 15 years and it runs like a champ. I still have my old Mitchell 301 reel as well, and it has served me for more than 50 years. I take care of my fishing equipment, and the Mitchell reel is strong. They are smooth, have plenty of line capacity, and won't let you down.
