Mitchell 300 Pro Reel,
If you were asked to name some of the most legendary reels in the world chances are the Mitchell 300 would feature high up your list. Originally designed in 1948 and considered by most to be the first true spinning reel to be manufactured, the Mitchell 300 is a revolutionary reel in the truest sense of the word. The reincarnated 300 series has been taking the modern angling world by storm – much like the original – and this reel is the ‘Pro’ version of the classic.
Taking the classic reel to new heights, the Mitchell 300 Pro is a piece of manufacturing excellence that allows you to perform to your best in whatever spinning activities you enjoy – whether that is spinning on the local freshwater or sea fishing for bass. The body of the reel is constructed from an advanced polymeric material. This ensures that the reel is strong and resilient, allowing you to fish with complete confidence, whilst still maintaining the light weight of the reel that allows it to be sat on any rod with ease. It is rigid and durable, too, holding all the vital internal mechanisms in precise position even when under the stress of an intense personal best capture. This polymeric body is fitted with an aluminium handle, which is sturdy enough to allow you to utilise every bit of the reel’s impressive 5.1:1 gearing – providing you with extreme fish cranking power when you need it the most. If whether you’re looking to pull in big fish over rough ground or you’re targeting some of the UK’s finest predatory species, the 5.1:1 gearing ensures that you can land your capture with relative ease. It can pull in a huge amount of line in a short period of time – so it is a dream for use at distance as well as when you’re playing your fish right under the tip. The spool on the reel is also constructed from aluminium. This time, the aluminium has been anodised to give it the additional durability that is required to ensure that the spool can withstand all of the kinds of wear and tear the serious spinning angler would expect to experience. If you’re using this reel as a saltwater tool, the additional durability that the anodised spool provides extends the lifespan of the reel as a whole – ensuring that you can perform to the best of your ability whether it is your first day using the reel or your last day at the water’s edge.
One of the most impressive features on the Mitchell 300 Pro is its hybrid carbon drag. Carbon famously provides one of the most smooth performing and hardwearing drag systems on the planet and this hybrid version is no different – giving you spectacular control over each and every cast as well as making your retrieve all the more enjoyable. The smoothness of the drag is supported by no less than 10 ball bearings. These significantly reduce the friction experienced by the drag, improving the performance of the reel and maintaining its long lifespan. These ball bearings have also been fitted with instant anti-reverse, ensuring an incredibly smooth operation and preventing any annoying rearward backplay. Finally, the innovative bail halo has been manufactured with superior strength – ensuring that you don’t have to worry about any lock-ups on your cast. The Mitchell 300 Pro lets every angler fish like one of the professionals and it it’s the perfect upgrade for the novice angler looking to take their fishing to the next level.
