Designed for braid or monofilament, the Mitchell 498 Series Saltwater Spinning Reel marks the return of a legend. The full metal body, sideplate and high-quality stainless steel components make this a true saltwater workhorse. Available in sizes for inshore to offshore applications. For smooth operation, the 498 uses a 7-stainless-steel-bearing system with instant anti-reverse, a full metal body and sideplate for solid gear alignment, and an innovative bail halo for added rotor and bail arm strength under heavy drag pressure. A Carbon Hybrid drag applies consistent drag pressure, and an aluminum spool with line-capacity markers tells you approximately how much line you have left on the spool. Model 198 comes with a standard handle knob, while models 298, 398, and 498 feature an EVA fighting knob. Cancer and Reproductive Harm- www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
