harvey lee Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 We all know the quality of Jason's rods and how affordable they are for the fisherperson.Now Jason has released his new line of combo's. I had a chance to use one of them with these new reels. They are a 3 ball bearing reel and are as smooth as a Tica from what I can tell. The drag is also very smooth. If your a serious pro to a beginner, these Mitchell rods and combo's will fill the bill. A very good, high quality rod and real for a combo price of $48.95. Thats a very good price for this combo set up. From the panfish rods to the laker rods, Jason has a rod to take care of all your fishing needs.http://jasonmitchellrods.com/ice.phphttp://jasonmitchellrods.com/ice.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muc33 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 All of my Jason Mitchell rods are first class. I cannot wait to get on the pannies with that panfish combo!! My main concern with a reel is always the drag system. And from what I have been told the Jason Mitchell Combo reels have a drag system that will please me. I can't wait to try!!!

Jim Hudson Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Muc I am the same with you.. Drags on reels, especially those that are seated onto combos these days, seem to be mediocre at best. Not anymore though.. I have been really giving these reels a workout here on my waters. From Trout to Walleyes to Perch and Bluegills. The reels perform flawlessly in all weather conditions. Great reel to make for a killer combo that a person can buy off the shelf.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BartmanMN Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks for the comments Jim. I was just going to ask if anyone has tried the reels on the combos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ole Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Somebody tell me, How much of a difference is there between a Meatstick and the Panfish rods? Do they sell a combo package with the Meatstick?Thanks, ole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 The Meatstick tip is alot more sensitive and you can see the bites better with it, more for use as a deadstick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey lee Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 Correct, no combo at this time for the Meatstick.The Meatstick is has a very fast tip and the slightest bite will show on the rod tip. A very good multi purpose rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ole Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Thanks guys, I currently have a Meatstick and LOVE it! I really like the tip action combined with a nice backbone. Trouble is the kids won't let me use it since it became their new favorite rod. So now I'm debating on whether to get the pannie combo or another Meat. Tough decision! I know, I should probably just get both. ole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 oleIf you're going for one rod, the meatstick is pretty versatile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I love the Meatstick, I own 3 of them! It is my go to rod! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riverrat56 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 I got my hands on a JM Perch 26" rod the other day, great potential for an all around rod right there, anything from 'gills to crappies, perch, or walleyes would be in trouble with this rod!I have yet to use a Meatstick but I am excited to after hearing all the good things about them!

PerchJerker Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I've got a couple Meatsticks and a couple Spring Bobber rods and use them a lot, in a lot of different situations, like finesse jigging small plastics for panfish, deadsticking waxies for panfish, and deadsticking minnows for perch and walleyes and saugers. I'm also a big fan of the Perch rod, it's my favorite jigging rod to use for perch and walleyes on Mille Lacs, Winnie and Lake Of The Woods.

Walleye Guy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Does anybody know if there is any type of warranty on Jason Mitchell Ice Rods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 Jason Mitchell Rod co warrants his rods against any defects in materials for one year from the date of purchase. If the rod is defective, Jason will stand behind his product.When you purchase your Mitchell rod, there will be a small warranty card wrapped around the cork handle. Make sure you fill that out and send it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleye Guy Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Harvey, Thanks. An eelpout did in my Meat Stick this weekend on Leech!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Get ahold of Jason and it should be taken care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 I don't believe that one could find another rod for the money or maybe even a more expensive one than the Meat Stick. This simply may be one of the most versatile rods made and for a budget that will fit almost everyones pocketbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
