Anybody have one of these reels?   I wish they had a 1000 series reel but I didn't see one on their website.  Looking for an ultra lite setup and I have always liked the smoothness when I have tried out there 2000/4000 size reel at my local dicks.  500's are small but with the ultralight set up I am looking for hoping this would be a nice reel.  I have 3 Presidents but the Mitchell reels seem a little smoother. 

is that the green one?

I have the 300 Pro. And I have fished with a President. Yes, the Mitchell is very smooth, but so is the Plueger. It is kind of a toss up between the 2 to me. I'm not sure if the Mitchell is beter. But it's nice, and only slightly more expensive. So if you want a new spinning reel it might be worth it to give the Mitchell a try and see if you like it better than your Presidents. I would recommend either one though.

I have several Mitchell Pro 300's and 308's. I haven't tried the 310. But based on my experience with the other models, I don't see how you could go wrong. I have had zero issues with either model I have used. And at $69, I think you'd have to spend twice that much to get a better reel (ie: Shimano Stradic).

I have the normal Mitchell 300. It works great on my medium heavy spinning rod for catfish and such and throwing crankbaits when I have something else tied on my baitcasters. Its very smooth for the 40 something dollars I paid for for it. 

I have a Medium-Light 310 pro combo. I got it for some finesse bass applications and it handled them fine. 

I took it out west to do some trout fishing and it worked perfectly. I've also used it to troll for walleye and no complaints. 

The reel itself is extremely smooth and is really well made and sturdy. 

On a side note, I snagged my hook and was yanking it out and broke the tip of my rod and they sent me a replacement in like a week. I was worried it wouldn't be shipped in time for my fishing trip but they sent it out next day. Great customer service!
