Jason Mitchell rods-Do you like them?

[icetrap]

Looking to order a few Mitchell rods and just want to get everyone's opinion. How are they compared to higher end rods? What about the Trap series compared to the regular eyelets. Can't beat the price and they look to be of great quality. Thanks

Don't let the price fool you.....these ARE high end rods. Well balanced and extremely sensitive. The Trap series have a little smaller guides which makes for a lighter rod overall which adds to the sensitivity, I prefer to use these when fishing inside a shack so you don't have to worry about the guides freezing up. You won't be disappointed in your purchase.

I haven't fished with any of them yet but I got to handle a few of the perch and walleye rods last weekend at the Mille Lacs get together at Appledorn's. I was very impressed. I have a few ordered and I'm waiting somewhat patiently for them to show up.

I fondled one on the late ice last year, 28 inch Walleye rod or something like that. Kinda reminded me of St Croix premier series. They seem to me to be pretty darn good rods at a fair price but I'll stick to my Thorne bros.

That "meat stick" model they have out for this season looks kinda interesting at well less than half the price of a Thorne deadstick. If only they made a similiar model 4-6 inches longer I'd snap one up for a test jiggle.

I'd like to upgrade the last of my MH Genz baitcasters and the model they have that would fit this niche looked like something I maybe wanted till I read it had a spiral wrapped guide set. So I guess I'll be calling Matt in the next few weeks to have something put together for me by the Thorne crew.

Lots of pretty good rods out there in that 25-35 dollar mid price range if thats all one wants to spend. Now with all their new model introductions this season the Mitchell rods should go over really well with folks looking for good quality rods in that mid range price point.

Iffin I was'nt such a Thorne fan I'd for sure give a few of these a try. They look like a winner to me.

I think these rods may be the best priced $30 to $40 rods out there. I am anxious to get one in my hand for this winter.

As do a bunch of us. I've got them ordered, just eagerly anticipating delivery.

Did you catch the new baitcaster rod in his line? It's a "Roberts wrap" glass special I pestered him into adding to his line. I had some custom made in the past and love them. Once you see how well they handle a load I think you will add one to your kit.

You big Greenback hunters up North are going to love these sticks.

His whole line is very good, tested and proven, worth much more than the asking price in my book.

These could easily sell for $60-pluss they are great! You will love them!

any body know if a abu garcia 100u is big enough for the meat stick?

The 100u or any of the "U" series of Abus will fit these rods nicely.
