After MANY years of collecting and searching I have finally completed my set of Mitchell Presidents which along with my complete set of Mitchell 1000 series Saltwater reels, I now have both sets of Mitchell's only big game saltwater reels! I had been searching for a very long time for a President 9/0 - 2 speed. A seemingly impossible task. A very good friend of mine came to my assistance, John Taylor! Not only did John make sure I completed my set, he broke up his complete set to get that reel to me! Who else would go that far? This should tell you what kind of person he is,,, THANK YOU John!
Below is my completed collection.
Mitchell 1040 - 4/0, 1060 - 6/0,  1090 - 9/0, the impossible to find 1120 - 12/0.
Mitchell Presidents 2/0, 4/0, 6/0, 9/0 & 9/0 - 2 speed, 12/0 & 12/0 - 2 speed and the 14/0.
Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Beautiful collection you've put together. I see a few reels sitting on wood boxes, did them come in a box like that?  Either way, nice touch!
Do what you can with that you have where you are

Very nice!

Who knows what direction I'll go when I finally get a Penn 16/0?

Thanks for sharing,
