Mitchell 308 Reels and Spools

[Pappy]

Two Mitchell 308's and 4 extra spools for sale. Also one extra spool that would be parts only. These are the older ultra lite reels that are not available anymore. I still fish with one of these reels, have for 35-40 years.i bought these as spares, parts and have never needed to use them. For lite weight rods, 4 lb test line. The reels both work, one needs a good cleaning and greasing

20.00 for all, you pay shipping

Those were some real good reels back in the day. Is it easy to get the springs for the bails and other parts to fix them if/when needed?

I still have 4 of them two of which were from the factory in France when I was in Germany in the 60's and one parts reel. They have caught alot of perch and one actually survived close to a year in 60 ft of water in Seneca Lake  (but I got it back miraculously)

Those are beauties. I still have an old Garcia Kingfisher that I still use.

I keep springs and screws, lots of parts for guns and fishing stuff. Very simple to fix, the amazing thing is they don't fail. I have looked at an awful lot of new reels by several manufacturers, nothing is even close to being made like these anymore. I just don' t use them.

I've got a new in the box 308 I found in a lost box of stuff in my basement 6 months ago. Best I can recall, I bought it about 25 yrs ago.

I'll have to put it on a rod for Spring.
