2 Mignons, lots of differences

[CincyDavid]

My 2nd CarGem Mignon arrived today...dustiest reel I have ever unboxed, looked like it came out of a barn. Interesting differences between this and my existing Mignon. One has a metal spool, the other some sort of fibrous material. Emblem on one, not the other, body casting is different and the one without the emblem has a bigger foot.

Yeah, there were quite a few different variations and colors in the Cargem 33/UL Mignons over the years they were in production.

Ha, I did exactly the same thing.

Those Italians sure made pretty reels!

But how is their steak?

[CincyDavid]

One of the first steaks that we eat when we get a half a beef is the filets. We're about due to order a half beef and a whole hog for the freezer. Now you've get me thinking about food, not fishing reels.

The Bistecca Fiorentina looks pretty good!

This thread is making me hungry. Nothing beats prime rib on the rotisserie
