Title: Garcia Mitchell 304 Part?
Post by: coastal_dan on March 13, 2015, 08:49:18 PM
I'm in need of an oscillating slide for an older Garcia Mitchell 304 spinner.  Its is a round white plastic piece with 2 holes and a notch in it...anyone have one by chance?  If so let me know what you'd like for it and I'll paypal you.  Thanks!

Hi Dan --

PM your name, address, and phone number -- and I will send it out.

N/C.

You can reimburse a couple of bucks for postage and handling materials.

Post some pics when you are done with the 304.

Best,

Fred

Thanks again Fred!  The reel turned out fantastic...can't wait to fill it with some 6 lb test for freshwater fishing and put it in my daughters hands  ;D

Glad it brings back some positive memories; we are looking forward to making some with it ourselves.  :)
