Designed for braid or mono, 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.
