Jason Mitchell Rods anyone use them

[fishingsurveyor]

Looking for a new rod and found some good post on other IS forums I am looking at the model with a built in strike indicator anyone here have one

Thanks

I use a Jason Mitchell Elite Series 36MH Mackinaw with a Abu GarciaŽ 5500 Ambassadeur Classic C3 Casting Reel for Togue fishing. Super set up for jigging big Togue in deep water. JM rods are top quality.

I have the Jason Mitchell 24" Spring Bobber Rod and love it. The rod itself is a little stiff(probably a medium light) but with the spring bobber it still shows the light bites. I usually have mine paired up with a 3 or 4mm Fiskas jig. The Jason Mitchell Meatstick rod might also be worth looking into. I don't have one but have seen it in a store. It's a glass rod with good backbone and a very sensitive tip. Would be great for those slabs!

That is the one I am looking at looks like a very sensistive tip

I also have the spring bobber rod by JM.  I love that thing.  Really deadly on panfish and crappies.  You will know if they sniff it at all.  Great rod and decent price.  I wouldn't have any hesitation picking another one up.

My main rod is a Jason Mitchell elite 24" panfish. I'd reccomend that or the meat stick.

I have the 20" and the 28" Meatstick with the orange/yellow tip. These rods are excellent for light bites. It took me a bit to get used to them, but I highly recommend the Meatstick for bluegill, pearch, and crappie fishing.

I use a Jason mitchell meatstick, the rip is super lite, no need for a strike indicator. I have not tried the Jason mitchell rods with the spring bobber, but so far all three of my Mitchell's are quality rods


 If you want the best strike indicator on the market you have to go with St. Croix legend

I have two meatsticks (20 and 24inch) and a 26 inch perch and 24inch panfish. all four are very nice rods. The meatsticks are awesome and have become my main rods. Use the perch for riping spoons when perch fishing.

   I  have a Jason Mitchell 20" spring bobber rod. Father-in-law has the 24" spring bobber rod.  We both like them, very nice rods.  I also like my St. Croix Legend.(spring bobber)  Seen a post the other day on Ice Shanty, I think it was on here anyway.  Guy was saying the tip on his Jason Mitchell meat stick broke.  Then some one else chimed in and said his broke too.  Don't know how they treat equipment either though. Or they just got lemons. I looked at the meat sticks though and liked the feel of them.  I also keep my rods in a hard sided case now. (Otter)  I have broken enough tips on rods to pay for several hard sided cases.

JM 38" Special Ice Rod - also refered to as the Laker rod.  Great for taming Pikes, Catfish, and big Walleyes.  Works fine for big Crappies and big Perch too.

My old 27" meatstick broke and I babied mine too.  I was very dissappointed in that it happened to me too.  I didn't get to fully test its merits out on many other fish.  But it's fixed and almost two inches shorter and working more in a funny way, but okay for the most part.  It's my dedicated fly reel set up for putting the hurt on the perch and the sunnies.

Those new meatstick with the candy stripped tip section looks flowery in a mesmerizing hypnotic way.

I have two, a 20" and a 24", and they both work great. I couldnt be happier.

I have several JM 28 " meat sticks and they are very nice rods, only problem ,,you have to be vary careful with the tip , they break very easy...   I have a Thorne Bros 28 " power noodle and I love it but the cost ,, That's what the JM meat stick is trying to copy.   If I keep breaking the tips I will be buying another power Noodle..  Also I Like the JM 500 reels   Very nice, I would but them in a heart beat...

Just talked to the main man, re:the prizes are packaged and being addressed. YEAH !

I've felt a few of the new rods with the Clam collaboration.  The longer handles is great.  I think the overall rods are also lighter.
