Mitchell Avocast Freespool Reel
This Avocast Freespool reel has been developed by Mitchell to mimic all the features of the best selling Avocast series but this time with a fantastic freespool features. Having a free running reel is essential for most styles of carp fishing as it allows for the line to peel from the spool even with the bail arm closed – perfect for when a big fish takes a bite and you’re not at your rod. Freespool allows the fish to run with the line until the moment you pick up the handle – at which point drag engages and you’re locked in battle with a monster carp.
The Mitchell Avocast Freespool is an incredibly well balanced reel that will sit well on any top quality carp rod. With seven ball bearings, as well as one IAR bearing, this reel is smooth to use – ideal for the carp angler who likes to target big hard fighting fish and who doesn’t want to have to be contending with friction from their own reel as well as the force of the carp. The ball bearings also ensure that longevity of the reel and this is one tool which can withstand intensive and repeated use. If you’re an angler who likes to be targeting the bank week in and week out then this is the perfect reel choice for you. The reel is slow oscillating, which means it’s able to achieve perfect line lay every time. Line lay is absolutely vital for your cast, as the smoother and more even the line lay is, the better the line will peel from the spool. A top end line lay can give you additional inches onto your cast, helping you target all of the features that you require when you’re hunting for monster carp.
The spool of the Mitchell Avocast Freespool is made from double anodised aluminium, so it is exceptionally durable whilst remaining lightweight. It also has an exclusive pattern that really makes it stand out from the crowd – for all the right reasons. The bail arm is supported by an innovative bail halo. This gives additional strength to what is already a thick and durable bail and ensures that what is sometimes the weakest point on the reel is as resilient as the rest of the reel. If you’re an angler who spends a lot of time on the bank then this reel is the perfect option for you as it is an incredibly heavy-duty reel which can withstand the most intensive of wear. The handle on the reel is chunky, giving you lots of grip when the going gets tough, and it ensures that all the power you push through it is transferred to the gear system. This, in turn, gives you the power that you need to retrieve powerful and hard fighting fish.
The body of the Mitchell Avocast Freespool is manufactured from an extremely strong advanced polymeric body. This ensures that the reel is rigid, which is perfect when you’re under pressure from a large carp. Rigidity in a reel is often a determining factor in its overall performance and the Mitchell Avocast Freespool’s rigidity ensures that you’re able to transfer all your power directly into the retrieve, rather than loosing any in unnecessary lateral or twisting motions within the reel itself. The Mitchell Avocast Freespool is available in three different sizes. The size 2000 is perfect for close quarters carping and the 4000 is ideal for smaller and mid sized waters. The 7000 is the largest size in the set and it is designed with the bigger of the UK’s venues in mind.
