Seen an offer on fishingmegastore.com for Mitchell Avocet RZ 8000 at £35 and thought I’d take a punt on it, £5 postage, delivered by UPS.
Arrived and unboxed, a few plastic pieces, but the moving parts all look reasonably good quality.
Pulled it apart to check it out internally, not a bad quality for the price point, and the drag seems smooth enough, I feel it will hold up ok and I’ll get good use out of it.
Aluminium Spool with good capacity 0.45/230m, 5 Bearings, 4:1 Ratio, nearly 80cm per turn, and light enough at 560g.
Will hopefully get out soon enough and give it a go on the second rod, and report back how it holds up.
