Mitchell Cobb, a dedicated angler and skilled fleet mate on the Mississippi River, brings his unique insights and experience to the Parsons Lures Pro Staff team. Living in Missouri, Mitchell fishes wherever he finds opportunity—whether from the bank, his kayak, or a boat. His passion for bass and hybrid fishing is matched by his careful attention to conditions and lure choice. His top color picks are Mohawk River Menace and Bloodsplatter, with Smelt and White Gold as versatile standbys. Mitchell knows the importance of matching technique to lure, and he’s a master of versatility with Parsons Lures' Ecto Glow Paddle Tail Worm. Whether rigged on a jig head or used as a trailer on swim jigs and chatter baits, the Ecto Glow never fails to bring action to his retrieves.
When it comes to casting spoons, Mitchell leans on the 1/2-ounce weight for its balance between sinking speed and reeling ease. He prefers Mohawk Menace on bright, sunny days, while Bloodsplatter is his go-to for cloudier conditions. Mitchell’s method is always guided by observation: he reads the fish's feeding behavior and adapts his approach. For hybrids, he casts long and slow, adding gentle twitches to lure them in, while for bass, he experiments with depth and speed until he finds where they’re holding. He uses a slower retrieve to maintain depth and picks up the pace when he wants the lure to rise.
Outside of fishing, Mitchell captures life through the lens, chronicling everything from family moments with his wife Debbie, her daughters, and his grandchildren to the beauty of Missouri's waters. He’s an enthusiastic St. Louis Cardinals fan and, whether on the Mississippi or exploring conservation lakes around Missouri, he’s always in pursuit of the next great catch—and that elusive double-digit bass.
