Question about Mitchell Copperhead Spin Reel
Anybody seen one of these?
It's model number is MCHA20-C or MCHA40-C I'm looking for a mid-size multi bearing spinner, but can't seem to find any info on these. The Fishin hole has this on sale for $29.95 http://www.thefishinhole.com/ Is it a good reel? Is it a good price? TIA Thumper BTW - Gr8 group - lurking for awhile now

I looked at the Copperhead before and it did NOT have instant anti-reverse.
I would never buy another reel without it. Check out Berkley's outlet. Here is a real good one for a few dollars more.

wrote in message om... Ummmmm.... The copperhead does indeed have instant anti-reverse, the price for the link one is significantly more and is US (not CDN) and I'm still looking for some constructive input I have a copperhead with antireverse that looks like yours. Have had it for two years now as my back-up reel. It's a bit cumbersome to use and feels a bit lunky. However, it does come out when I am up in North Ontario (Kapuskasing area) as my pike reel. It has been solid and reliable. But I would not recommend it as a reel for say... trout or finness style fishing. If it's a trolling or heavy game fish reel, then by all means. That a bit more the type of input you wanted? Dan in the bush....

Fireline's what I use on it as well. Haven't lost a friggin expensive rap
or rap-style since the switch over a couple years ago. Had the hooks straighten, but not the line snap. Good luck. Dan in the bush....
