I have used Mitchell reels for years and have never had a problem. they are one of the best buys for the price. To beet the quality of a $50 dollar Mitchell reel you have to spend around $100 on another brand. I haven't used their rods but if they are the same quality as their reels i would say go for it.

My dad has the rod, and he doesn't like it, but i love it. He only doesn't like it because he is a trout fisherman and always uses an ultralight rod... he says its "to big..." I love the rod personally, and think that it is a great setup. I'm looking into the 6'6" one myself... You don't need the most expensive setup on the market, (Daiwa Steez), but this setup is great!!!

WARRANTY and QUALITY are probably the 2 biggest
