Title: Mitchell 750?
Post by: Wompus Cat on September 14, 2021, 11:58:56 AM
Although I have GOBS of Spinning Reels I don't Care for them but still I keep getting them and Fred got me addicted to Dam Reels because of their Engineering and Quality but I recently acquired a Mitchell 750 in a box in pieces .
Got it all together and it functions however the  Bearings are shot and it is going to cost over 20 bux to get New ones .
My point is I guess is .
Is this Reel even worth 20 bux since I never even heard of a 750 and can't find NADA about it .
Or just put it in with my other Gobs of Spinning Reels I don't like in the First Place  ::)

Metal Spool ,Metal Bail Housing , PLASTIC FRAME with Self Tapping Screws  and CRAP GEARS :'(

Expensive  Bastard Size Bearings . However it is a Light lil thing.

*****Correction ******
Everything is Plastic except the Spool ,Cheap Gears and Shaft.
If a Bird was to describe this Reel he would say
CHEEP !
