Friend on site wanted an old Mitchell 305 round body reel -- and also a 301, which is the left hand version of the 300.
Like most left hand reels -- these are rare and tough to find in any condition.
After new old stock parts, complete tear-downs, cleaning, adjusting, shimming, tuning, and modern lubes -- they turned out well.
Installed a new shallow spool on the 305 -- and a deep spool on the 301.
Best Always,
Fred
Wow, Nicely done, Fred, they look like brand new!
They look amazing!
I'm gonna wrap the box and open it on Christmas. This is so cool. My first Yellowtail was caught on a 300 and I can't wait to actually use the correct hand to fight the fish. Now I need a brown vintage 20#class Fenwick to pair it with.
Thank you forever Fred.
