Got Something today

I love to see these old Mitchell’s still in use. Congratulations on a great find. The sound of bacon cooking in a skillet and the click of a Mitchell reel always brings a smile! I purchased this with paper route money as a kid. Still sees use and brings back childhood memories.

Oldie but Goodie..... Looks lightly used....

Hatchetjack, I feel the same. In today's society it seems everything is break it, throw it away and buy new. I am one who will fix it and continue on...If it's something I have to have right now, no time to fix it, I may get a new one to finish the job, but I'll end up with two because the first one getting fixed.
When dad passed I was serving in the military over seas. Mom said all his stuff was mine and would be their when I got home. Well my oldest sister's boy friend got into and hocked it according to her for some dope money...by the time I got home, not only was he not around, neither was my sister, nor dads outdoor stuff. Didn't talk to her for many years...But yes I love these old Mitchell reels.

Billbob,
Have you tried Mat’s Reel Repair? I’ve gotten parts to rebuild my old 300’s from him. Might be worth a look.

A Reel Fix in Loris, SC might be of help with parts. Google for phone info.

Nice reel. Never had one but those that do love them dearly.

This thread got me curious. I thought I had a second Mitchell reel. The one I was thinking of turned out to be a Lew's #3 ball bearing spinning reel. While looking around I found a Yellow Eagle Claw UL rod. That will become the home of the little 304. Also found an old Zebco 33 and 2 Johnson Country mile reels and an Old Pfluger all metal Level wind reel.

Thank you Jack. Growing up My late father had two reels. Both Mitchell Garcia's. A 300, and a 408. I found a 300 a year or so ago, but need to get it to a repair shop for a going through and the anti-reverse fixed. This one needs a thorough cleaning as the gear grease is hard and away from the gears. I'm going to start collecting them one at a time if I have to. They are some very good reels if taken care of...

You want a 300 with box, paperwork and spare spool? It belonged to my wife's uncle. I'm not really into collecting reels. This one is a little squeaky from lack of lube but appears to just need some cleaning.

It's yours for cost shipping if you want it.
