My question is, how old is this reel? And How much is it worth? It looks like a Mitchell I had one in the late 's and used it until I dating in to the Service in the 's. Mitchell also made a site billionaires dating reel a bit larger.
It also resembles your picture. There was a and a I believe, which were larger and used by some in the mid mitchell but many Long Island Casters were using Luxor or Crack by mitchell. Its an early mitchell Don't know mitchell serial numbers but I would say its from the mid 50's. As for what its worth Its a cool classic reel but they made millions and millions.
The mitchell is probably the most popular reel in history. Ive got a box in the basement full mitchell them. I have a whole collection of old Mitchell Garcia reels and I still fish with them regularly. I try not to beat on them, and they still catch plenty of fish.
There's nothing like hearing a Mitchell drag sing! Enjoy the reel and think of Grandpa every time you catch a fish, that's priceless! X2 It's a model. Reel has the handle on the other side. You need to register here in order to participate.
