Was just there yesterday and almost picked one up. They have a lot of rods cheaper than Amazon also. Definitely worth an in store visit if you've never been and live close.

What other models do you like at $35? At slightly higher prices I prefer shimano but not sure what is out there that isn't total junk for the kids in this price range.

What kind of trout? 12-14 inch brook trout then definitely, but if you're into 20+ inch rainbows, browns or even bigger lake trout then no this would work great.

I agree. I have the new version of the Mitchell 300 and a Penn Pursuit, both roughly the same price point and there is nothing that would make me think they are related. Both are great reels, though.

I guess the point here is to attract youngsters who have never heard of Mitchell, but why? They're just buying bottom barrel Walmart garbage anyway and are unlikely to be repeat buyers.
