Brent1981 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 What ever happened to the spidercast reels..I had one when I was younger and from what I remember they were a decent reel Quote
Brent1981 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 I seen a Mitchell spincast today and it made me think about it Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted October 30, 2013 Super User Posted October 30, 2013 I still have my SC30. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted October 30, 2013 Super User Posted October 30, 2013 They have long since been replaced by other models. You can probably find them occasionally on auction sites and our Flea Market. Quote
Brent1981 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 They may not even compare to the standards of reel today but I just remember it being the greatest thing since Red Diamond Iced tea when I was a teenager. Saved alot 9f lunch money to get it only to have my best friend accidently knock it out of our john boat in a really large pond..not sure how many hours I spent trying to fish it out..lol Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted October 30, 2013 Super User Posted October 30, 2013 There were baitcasting, spinning, and spincast models as well as rods. I still have a round and low profile version baitcaster and a "Spidershaft" casting rod. Not exactly top of the line equipment, but they were made to handle superlines at the time. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted October 30, 2013 Super User Posted October 30, 2013 They all fell apart and so did my Copperheads Quote
KevO Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Still have a spidercast 2 pc spinning rod i keep behind the seat for spur of the moment fishing. Doesn't compare to any of my shimano or g loomis stuff but it still serves me well. Quote
Super User Hi Salenity Posted October 31, 2013 Super User Posted October 31, 2013 Looks cheap..lol Lo, back I the day I thought it was pretty nice. Quote
KDW96 Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I still have one of the SpiderMite baitcasters,very small reel for throwing very light baits.Also have 2-6ft spidercast original casting rods also. 1 Quote
Brent1981 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Posted November 1, 2013 Its wierd. I cant even find a mitchell website now. I know they still make reels cause I seen one at academy a couple days ago Quote

Brent1981 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Posted November 1, 2013 Thanks Francho...wow they only make 4 different reels Quote
Super User J Francho Posted November 4, 2013 Super User Posted November 4, 2013 Mitchell is part of a much bigger Pure Fishing group, which includes Abu, Penn, Flooger, Shakespeare, and others, and as such they offer many models through all their brands. While Mitchell has been sort of designated as an entry level line, the 300 Pro looks to be a heck of a reel for around $70. Quote
