The 900's are probably the pinnacle of the Mitchell egg shaped body reels.
Skirted spools and much stronger bail arm springs than the 300/400 series.
Most of mine came from Canada/USA when they were still available cheaply on Ebay, before the stupid global shipping programme was implemented and before UK Customs and Excise were instructed to intensify raping the pocket's of buyers in an attempt to cover the shortfall of treasury funds due to incompetent government.
I've always wanted tournament spools for them but have never seen any for sale.

How about these muppets who stand there playing a fish with one hand? What's that all about? Just makes me laugh and the best bit, when they keep looking around to see who's watching them doing it. Noddies eh

One handed is the correct way you noddy, other hand should have a large can of Stella acta**** and big dooby in it if your a pucka seasoned carper.

A good carp angler should be able to drink and land the fish without spilling any, probably.

Would you mind letting us know what reel you have?
Presumably very high tech.

Did that on Tuesday night, playing a fish at 0100. Luckily, I'd slipped into my 'night footwear' Crocs, so it all just drained away...

I watch a fair few youtube vids and have never noticed this. The only thing I have seen which is a bit annoying (Carl and Alex) is the use of SS2600's with the clutch too tight and the rod almost going in the water. I'm sure they do it on purpose (although I am aware that it's about 46 turns of the clutch from loose to locked on a SS2600 
)
)
