I was just curious to how you liked the Mitchell Avocets after using them last year? I bought one last year and used it a little bit and it worked well. Gander Mountain has them on sale for 19.99 and I was considering getting more of them at that price. It sure seems like a lot of reel for $20. Any input on the reels would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I love those reels!

They have a very smooth drag system, maybe the best of any reel in that price range. You can't go wrong with them.

I have used them also and find no problems especially at $20.

I love the Avocett GOLD. The silver is not nearly as good of quality.

I guess I'll have to try one. :)
I won one (a Gold) at a Walleyes Unlimited banquet last year... but have never tried it.
