Product Details and Uses

The Mitchell Traxx series is known for providing modern, high-performance rods at a very accessible price point. The 702MH model is a versatile casting rod, designed for the “lure casting” technique, which is a popular method for targeting predators like pike, zander, and perch.

Rod Blank and Construction

Blank Material: The rod is built on a High-Quality Carbon Blank, specifically M24 Carbon. This is a medium-modulus carbon material that provides a lightweight, strong, and responsive foundation. M24 carbon is an excellent choice for a rod in this class as it offers a great balance of sensitivity and power.
Action: The rod has a Fast Action. This means the rod bends primarily in the upper third of the blank. This fast action provides two key benefits:
- Sensitivity: The stiff backbone and sensitive tip allow the angler to feel even the most subtle bites and the action of the lure.
- Hook Setting Power: The fast action allows for quick, powerful hooksets, which is essential for penetrating the bony mouths of predatory fish.
Power: The rod’s power is rated as Medium-Heavy (MH). This rating, combined with the 10-45g lure weight, makes the rod a true workhorse. It can handle a wide variety of lures, from medium-sized crankbaits and jerkbaits to larger soft plastics.
Pieces: The rod is a 2-piece design, which is a standard and convenient configuration for a rod of this length, making it easy to transport.

Components and Features

Guides: The rod is equipped with Lightweight LTS Anti-Tangle Guides. These guides are designed to reduce the risk of frustrating line tangles, especially when using braided line, and to help achieve smooth, long-distance casts. Their lightweight nature also contributes to the rod’s overall sensitivity.
Reel Seat: It features a lightweight, open reel seat design, often called a “blank-touch” reel seat. This design allows the angler to make direct contact with the rod blank, which greatly increases the angler’s sensitivity to bites and lure movements.
Handle: The handle is made of High-Density EVA. The EVA material provides a comfortable and secure grip, even when wet. The handle is likely a split-grip design, which further reduces weight and is a common feature on modern lure rods.
