Scored a Mitchell 300

[LDUBS]

Every once in a while we join a good friend for their annual neighborhood garage sale. It is really more for the fun of it than anything else but we did sell about $200 worth of stuff we no longer needed.

I saw a guy had a bunch of rods so went over to check things out. I bought a Garcia Mitchell 300 for $15. It is one of the Made in France models.

When we were kids having a Mitchell 300 was a pretty big deal. I finally got one!! Haha

Good score!

FWIW a friend is assisting on an estate sale now and says there's a box full of fishing reels including a few Mitchell 300s. I'll see what I can get them for, if you want another ...

My first 'grown up' reel was a Mitchell 320...that was back in '67.

Nice find there...

Thanks for the offer Dale. I guess having this one will see me through. I'm looking forward to cleaning it up and putting some line on it.

I had one of those boxes of reels. It contained some Penn conventional reels and some old Daiwa and Olympic spinning reels. My son has it now.

It looks like it's in mint condition. Nice score!
