I just joined this forum and wanted to say hello to y'all! I have fished mountain streams to the ocean and just live to fish!!! I recently pulled out my saltwater gear that I haven't used in 20 years and started to overhaul those reels and found this site a wealth of knowledge! Thanks, Tim

 Welcome Tim, and congrats on full retirement.

20 years is a long time to not be using your saltwater gear. A simple full service and lube will get your reels back from the long hibernation !!

The 2 Mitchell's are old but we're in the box unused when my Father in Law have them to me. I will look to see the models when I return home.
