Mitchell 306

Back in March we posted a piece about a reel that generated a lot of comments on Facebook and through direct messages. It seemed a lot of the readers were upset that I had chosen the Zebco Cardinal series as the reel of the decade for the s. Readers wrote in that the French made, Garcia Mitchell series of reels was by far superior to the Swedish reel and how could I think such a dastardly thought. For one, on some of their models the bail went backwards of all other reels. This may not seem like a problem but imagine this. In my youth, I worked at a tackle shop, and we had a big business spooling new line on reels. After spooling up 15 or so spinning reels, you get in a groove. Then someone drops a Mitchel spool on the counter without line or the reel, and now you have a chance of getting it right. It looked like it was designed in the 50s, it was, and the Cardinal looked sleeker and less clunky. Plus, it wound line on the spool the correct way. These catalogs were much more than that, though.

Here is some information, Greg — I think I have seen these on eBay occasionally. I'm going to stretch this braided line out that came with the reel, see if there are any weak spots. After spooling up 15 or so spinning reels, you get in a groove. Me worry? Recall that handi2 Keith new these reels well. These were saltwater reels, and their line capacities show. These have a unique plastic fastener from the rotor to the main housing. These reels featured an automatic bail that could be triggered with just a flip of the finger. Main Menu.

This is an old version - serial ,xxx built in the early sixties, short foot stand, and original bail type. I found a crank on the auction site that was also supposed to be suitable for a , but it's too long for this reel and it hits the bail - Even after adding an extra spacer washer and bending the bail some.
