MITCHELL AVOCET R BLACK EDITION 5500FS It’s almost entirely black, which is part of a collection of colours commonly known as ‘carpy’ that includes olive and green to contribute to low visibility of the angler on the bank. It has a lightweight black aluminium spool that has been anodised for a long life and also has a ‘free spool’ system that aids casting and trolling. The trolling technique involves trailing baited lines from a moving boat or slowly winding in a line with lures or bait from a stationary position. Features include: Carpy black design with understated subtle branding Multi-disc drag system with greased felt 2 + 1 high-performance bearings Black anodised aluminium spool Soft touch handle knob Free spool reel system Halo rotor Pre-spooled with dark line capacity: 240m / 0.30mm recovery: 0.78m. This is a reel which sits well with either carp or coarse fishing and comes with many welcome features but has a rock-bottom price. A traditional multi-disc drag system is included which uses specially-greased felt. For this class of fishing reel, many anglers still swear by the action and hard-wearing nature of greased felt drag discs. A halo rotor and 2 + 1 high-performance bearings work together to produce a smooth action when retrieving line.
