The Mitchell SW Squid spinning combo is especially designed for the anglers who are looking for an affordable but very high quality rod and reel that can be used for squid fishing from the boat. Because of the glass construction, the rod is incredibly strong but it also have a super sensitive tip so make sure you will see every bite and also prevent the squid from coming of the hooks. The reel has 4 stainless steel ball bearings, making sure that it will run perfectly smooth, also under heavy loads. So just spool the line of your choice and you are ready to go!
