The Mitchell Avocet Big Surf 6500 Reel is a nice looking reel, but sadly not the same build quality as the old mitchells from years gone by, which could be trusted to last for years & would never let you down. (read more)

I had Tournies for years only sold as weren't getting used much now. These replacements are great for the money...Totally recommend. Amazing Value for money. Smooth, light great line lay. The Mitchell Avocet Big Surf reel is a really good fishing reel. Be careful when you change the spools over as the little clip inside isn't welded on and can get lost if you don't keep an eye on it.

It has a large deep spool for the price and good cranking power. Casts very well and good line lay. (read more)

I think that the Mitchell Avocet Big Surf 6500 is a great reel, I brought one ages ago and I have a few others reel but this is still up there as a decent one. You can also pick these up for a pretty decent price as well. (read more)

Although designed for the beach fisherman, I bought 2 of these reels for my spod & marker float rods when carp fishing. They are big pit reels and come with 2 aluminium spools, one deep & one shallow with is great for braid. Main features of the reel are 3+1 ball bearings, instant infinate anti-reverse & a superb multi-disc drag system which goes from freespin to locked up with just one full turn of the drag knob, which means they can be used as carp reels using the drag as a baitrunner,...

Anyone interested in buying these should have a look at erics angling centre, currently on offer for £24.99 each. an absolute steal at that price.
