In the summer in 2001, 300 series disappeared from Mitchell's home page.
" 300X classic " appeared instead.
Well, will 300X be 300 inheritors?

MITCHELL 300X The design of 300X is original. Small 308X and 300X pro are in the manual. The high speed gear of 6.1:1 of 300X is as smooth as Japanese spinning reels. The crossing gear is adopted for perfect winding and the body is compact. Made in China. |
 |
300's image? The right side of body is similar to old 300. |
 |
Smooth bail trip 300's image is not only looking. Its bail trip is smooth like 300, Privilege, and Quartz. It is a good point of MITCHELL's spinning reels. Japanese spinning reels are not good on this point. |
 |
MITCHELL spool concept This is a good concept as 300's 2spools. 300X's spool increases its capacity than Quartz. |
 |
Rotor This is a wrong point. The rotor balance is kept by these large weights. The inertia is large. The line roller is too large. |
 |
Handle Although above rotor is heavy, this light weight handle keeps total inertia minimum. |
 |
BUT But, I do not think 300X is "new300". "New300" should be inner spool. |
Although 300X has little problems, such as its heavy rotor, it is a almost
good spinning reel. These Chinese reels of European brand may be threat
of Japanese reels
But I wanted MITCHELL making this model with inner spool design. If the
"new MINI" and "new Beetle" were not similar to their
original models, they were sold many.
Making "new300" is a privilege of MITCHELL..（2002/8/26）
