New Clam/Jason Mitchell Rods?

[Rainman]

Anybody have any input in these new open water rods? Not sure if I like the smaller eyes all the way up to the tip. Other than that they seem like a sweet rod for the price!!

Great feeling rod. Light smooth action, plenty of nice backbone and there priced right. Love his ice rods! Buddy bought a 6' medium for garbage fish outta the muddy ditch. I have a 7' older model and its really nice for jerk baits. I'll prolly buy a new one for a jig rod when my jig rod breaks.

Any stores in and around the metro have these rods in stock?

The GM in St Cloud has them. I'd imagine they'd be at other locations, but I dunno for sure.

Cabelas has started carrying them as well, although their selection is very small. I stopped in at their Walleye expo last weekend and talked to Jason Mitchell himself about these rods. I'm impressed with them, especially at the price and ended up picking one up...will post again when I get a chance to use it. While they aren't a $325 loomis, they are a great rod for the price and what I like about them is that he uses the stuff he puts his name on and stands behind it.

That's the only thing that Gander in St Cloud has! Their fishing department is absolutely horrible and keeps getting worse every year.

Oh, not true!!!!

They have a bunch of stuff that's 15% (or more) more expensive than at least two stores within a five minute drive. I imagine it's a tough business model to make work....those big stores are expensive.

I recently watched on of Jason's shows where he highlighted the one foot marks on his rods. That is a nifty idea to adjust your slip bobbers!

Woodbury Gander has them in stock. Casting, Spinning, and I believe the rolling rods as well.

Thorne Bros has a rack. Felt like a nice rod for the buck. Not a big fan of the handle though.
