Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

I'm left to wonder what they are fishing for in Romania that requires a 14/0??  Those are some beaaaautiful reels tho!!

I think around 14 lbs and like I said 8 days complete trip from Romania. I think that was real good. The 4/0 is in really nice shape but the14/0 has a bit of rash as you can see in pics but it works perfect !!!  Happy 4th to all !!!

John, I hope you can make the whole set of Presidents! Also the 2 speed ones that are harder to find. I have seen only the 9/0 in 2 speed setup on some photos, but I guess it should also be the 12/0 at least.

I like very much this President ad from the '80s. The big one 14/0 was not even on the menu :)

Also the story behind the making of these reels. Gladiator from Italy provided the parts, maybe in France they were only assembling them, who knows...

Hello guys my name is Luciano and I am Italian I own two Mitchell president a 12/0 double speed and a new 14/0 that I would like to sell and of which I am attaching photo and manual.

Hi John Taylor here
I would be interested in the 12/0 two speed. I have a 12/0 but single speed. Is that the 2 speed pictured if so how does it shift ? Let me know and please PM me with a price.  Thanks  John Taylor
