Title: beige side plates reel
Post by: maxpowers on September 30, 2013, 04:51:32 AM
Hi everyone,

I was wondering if any of you have ever seen a reel that is about the size of a 4/0 with beige side plates.  I saw it earlier but didn't ask the clerk to let me look at it.  Just kinda cool looking.. maybe I will go back some time this week and take a look at it.

Hmm, interesting. Did you notice if the reel was a lever drag or star drag? Might be an old Ocean city or Hardy or something......

Looks like an old Mitchell.  Mitchell 600 series.

I think the asking price was $10.  I may pick it up and rebuild it just for fun..
