They are fantastic rods. I have had great luck with the meat stick and I like the spring bobber rods. They don't ice up like other designs.

I don't know if they're made in the US but I know when I call for service (I broke the tip on one of my rods) I called their shop in North Dakota and talked to Jason himself. Great guy and great service. I've got some ideas on one of the spiral wrap laker rods for this winter. I like the lake trout and big pike on a jigging rod.

I too can testify to calling with questions and speaking to Jason himself! Great service and like TeamOtter and Powerstroke I have the Meat Stick and Spring Bobber rod. I also have a slip bobber rod for open water fishing from Jason Mitchell.

I have three of them I bought last year, and love them all.

My favorite Jason Mitchell rod is the 30" walleye. Great backbone and I like for jigging spoons primarily.

The 28" walleye is a great choice too for a more sensitive touch on walleyes.

And my 24" panfish is a great all around panfish rod.

Mine have been great rods, and for a reasonable price it can't be beat!

I use the 28" Walleye, Perch, and spring bobber rod.

I love the fast tip, yet strong backbone of the walleye and perch rods.

For the money, the best ice rods I've used. I was so impressed I bought a couple more this year. I have a few Jason Mitchell open water rods that are awesome also.

Customer service????? I dare you to call with a problem and not hang up the phone happy. Last time I called with a question I talked to Jason Mitchell himself.

I have used them for a couple seasons.

The spring bobber rod is great for pannies.

The Perch rod I have used for perch and eyes.

Th 28" eye rod has also been a good one.

The Meatstick could also be used for a deadstick or a panfish rod as the tip is very sensitive. One must be fairly careful with this rod as the tip is sensitive but thin.

The Mackinaw. A great rod for those lakers or bigger northerns. I have a Abu baitcaster on mine and love it.

I guess you can tell I am more than happy with my Mitchell rods and the performance they have given me.

Watch for Jason's new line of rods with reels coming soon.

I picked up a few this year, I havent used them yet, but they sure look and feel like a nice quality rod. I will be ordering more, as I am trying to replace some of my older walmart specials, and you cant beat the price for the quality on the Jason Mitchell rods!

The meatstick does not have a spring bobber. It is a rod that is designed progressively heavier form the tip to the handle. The tip is extremely sensitive and then gets a little stiffer as you move back to the handle.

Spring bobber rods have a spring bobber built in to the rod tip.

The Meatstick has a very forgiving tip, what one would classify as a deadstick rod if you will. You can use it as such and it works great, but it also works great for dropper rigs and for crappie fishing when you dont want to use a spring bobber.

This rod is very delicate though and you need to watch the tip so it does not break. The sensitivity is great though and I have used it on many species, including landing a 26 inch walleye on it last season. It does have backbone to land the big ones too.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      Problems with Yetti

      By Wanderer · Posted

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
