Mitchell fulcrum rods????

[xoch1]

Anyone know where I might be able to find Mitchell fulcrum rods for sale. I bought a couple about 2-3 years ago and really like them for walleye as well as pan fish. I have searched high and low but cannot find any fulcrum rods anywhere. Are they not being made anymore??

Phenomenal rod for the price! I bought a Fulcrum baitcaster a few yeas back at Walmart for like $20, and the rod rocks! Extremely light and very sensitive, I can cast with it all day long and not even stretch a muscle

I tried contacting Mitchell to see if there are any more, and they said that they stopped making the older version, and that the only ones left are the ones at the stores if they haven't sold them. I found another one up in Canada near Sioux Narrows a year ago. They came out with a new cork handle Fulrum for open face reels, but its not the same in my mind. A nice rod and priced awesome thats for sure.

Good Fishin,

Thanks for the info. I agree, fulcrum rods rock. It’s too bad they’re not making them anymore. Seems surprising that none of the other major rod manufacturers have used a similar design. Especially when you always hear people saying they want a rod that is light weight and “the right balance”. I was considering one of those Bionic Blades from BPS that has the weight kit to screw into the end of the rod. But to me it’s not the same. Sure it might balance it out, but I would think all that would do is make the overall rod weight heavier. I guess I better be extra careful with the one fulcrum I have now!!

Matt,
How did you go about finding one? I loved mine, but it broke @ the LETS Big Marine event. I have been searching ever since.

[Matt Johnson]

Chris,
You can't find them anymore, they stopped making the baitcaster soft handle model. But I guess if you are really lucky you could find one at a baitshop somewhere from a previous order. One nice rod though.

Fleet Farm in Fargo had a couple of combos with the 6'3 MH Fulcrums last week.

I love my Fulcrum for going vertical with big fireballs!

Matt,
I went to the tackle sale in Anoka. I can't remember the name but I think the guy has one every spring. If I find out, I'll let you know.

Has anyone tried contacting Mitchell directly? I had an older Berkley rod that they had quit making that I wanted another of. I contacted Berkley, and they had a few in the warehouse. Shipped out the next day. I'm sure that Mitchell didn't just toss out any that they hadn't sold or shipped. Maybe they'll sell a couple if they've got them.

Okay now I've gotta get one of these. No clue where I'm going to keep it, but I need one.
