Mitchell 300 Technical Perfection

[Steve V.]

Did you ever point your rod tip down (like when fishing from a pier) and have the Mitchell 300 push button spool fall off and into the water?

Say buddy, what are you doing? I'm fishing for a spool.

The 900 series reels were after the Garcia bankruptcy, from 1980-84 when Browning bought/owned Mitchell. The 4400 series reels crossed over from those Browning Mitchell 1980-84 days and carried on for a little while into the post 1984 Mitchell Sports days.
