Outstanding Reel,October 14, 2009
By Penjackfrom PA
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Style/Design, Value for money
"At the Bass pro Shop looked at all the reels on display. Wanted to get the Sahara but after trying the Mitchell was amazed at how smooth it was. Seemed smoother and overall better than the Sahara and cost a lot less.
After over 20 fishing trips I was so impressed with the reel I bought the other 3 sizes. This is a very nice reel."

Tradition of Quality,October 3, 2009
By dgrooms72from Tennessee
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Style/Design, Value for money
"For most people, Mitchell reels are synonymous with quality, at least the 300 series. I just happen to catch these Avocets on sale a while back, and bought one (I think it was $29.99). Excellent reel, dependable, and no surprises. Does the job well every time. I have a Shimano Sienna that I like using as well, but when I know I'm in big bass waters, I go for the Mitchell. Been using it about a year and a half now with no problems. All I do is spray some Reel Magic on it before I go out, and it's always ready. Good balance on a 6'6" medium action BPS Tourney Series rod. Highly recommended!"

performance surpasses the price,August 16, 2009
By rollinbamaredneckfrom Detroit, Alabama
Advantages: Ease of use, Performs well, Quality, Style/Design, Value for money, also very tightly put together
"I've never been a fan of mitchell reels UNTIL NOW. I bought the 2000 series to use for finesse fishing with lite (6-8#) mono. The drag on that little "jewel" was so impresive that I bought another Avocet in the 4000 size to use for throwing smaller crankbaits and unweighted and lite weighted soft plastics. I also like the retrieve, no wobble, just silky smooth performance. Try one, You'll be glad you did."

Advantages: Performs well, Quality, Value for money
"I bought two of these last spring and love them .I use them for spin flippin light jigs into pads for gills and pulling red ears (shell crackers) out of deep weeds . They cast well and are easy on line. Running jigs in these conditions is hard on tackle but they have held up great ."

Mitchell Avocet II,March 1, 2009
By gofsh2dayfrom Lake Fork, TX
"I purchased this reel for crappie fishing and it is the smoothest reel for the money. I compared the Mitchell against other reels at BPS and it has the smoothest feel of all the reels below $50. I have owned several Mitchell reels over the years and they have always performed very well."
