Bought this for my 8 year old grandson and he's in LOVE with it. Mitchell has always been my favorite and all 3 grandsons now have Mitchell reels. I started them off with 300's but the youngest wanted to reel in with his LEFT hand although he's a righty. Hasn't yet figured out the hand switch BUT this reel can be changed over to a right hand reel as he gets the hang of it. GREAT REEL with the ability to change sides.

These new Mitchell 300 spinning reels perform well above their price point. They're lightweight yet strong, operate smooth as silk, have excellent wide range drag systems, and are attractive to boot. I have used them for 3 years with 20 and 30 lb. braid for feisty, hard charging Alaska silver salmon, without issue. I have spinning reels that cost 3-4 times as much that aren't as overall functional as these!
