Mitchell MX9 Spin FD (Front Drag) Spinning Reel
What our customers are saying:
"MX9 OR MX6"
"I've had a Mitchell Mx9 in size 2500 for about 18 months now and cant fault it, its ultra light at 150g and real smooth. It looks good too. I use it on my Westin W3 Dropshot rod and occasionally my Greys GR50+ ul lure rod. I was looking for something for my grandsons dropshot setup so wanted to go small and light i would have gone for the MX9 but its a bit over budget at £160 so looked at the Mitchell MX6, its still a good looking reel but the 2500 comes in at 213g so went for the smaller 2000 size which at 176g is still heavier than the MX9 but not over heavy. The price difference makes it worth the compromise at £80 its half the price of the MX9. I suppose its down to engineering and materials. I must admit, the MX9 does feel far superior and still as smooth as the day i bought it, but you get what you pay for and im more than satisfied with mine. It's handled many a lump of a perch and a double figure pb Zander so cant grumble.
We will see how the MX6 performs in the coming months. It will be paired with a Greys GR50 UL lure rod and used for dropshot on a kayak. Im loading it with spiderwire stealth smooth x8 braid, which i have used for a couple of years and absolutely love it".
