Mitchell Avocet IV Salt Reel

Mitchell Avocet IV Salt Reel Although the name sounds typically American, Mitchell is actually a French tackle company which has been producing award winning reels since the mid 1900’s. This Avocet IV Salt Reel is the latest in a line of exceptional reels in the Avocet series. Available in 4000 and 6000 sizes, this reel is suitable for a number of saltwater applications and is ideal for all kinds of shore fishing. Designed for use as a sea fishing reel, the Avocet IV Salt has been manufactured with a number of saltwater resistant components. These include saltwater resistant bearings, line roller, main shaft, and handle shaft, among others. One of the biggest struggles that tackle manufacturers face is making sure that their products don’t face premature damage due to the highly corrosive nature of saltwater. The whole reel has been geared up to ensure it can perform in intense sea fishing conditions and the Avocet IV Salt has been completely tested for saltwater efficiency. The three stainless steel bearings, as well as additional IAR bearing, ensure that this reel is an exceptionally smooth operator. These also make sure maximum energy transference occurs between the force you exert on the handle and the gearing in the reel. This is because they significantly reduce the friction in the reel, making it not only easier to operate but also extending the reels life span. The Avocet IV Salt is fitted with an EVA handle knob. This allows for comfortable and ergonomic winding, ensuring you can confidently handle the biggest and most aggressive of takes. The Mitchell Company has been one of the most successful reel companies in recent history, with over 30 million versions of the Mitchell 300 reel having been sold since it was first released in 1940. In fact, in the early 970s, Mitchell was producing over 12,000 reels each day – a feat that was unheard of at the time. This Avocet IV Salt more than lives up to the impressive heritage of the Mitchell name and is ideal for the avid sea fishing angler.
