Mitchell Info

Post by tjolds »

I can't answer your question about trade catalogs but I was wondering if you know the value of Mitchell 50th Anniversary Spinning Rods. I have two that are new and never fished. They are number A66MS 6'6'', lure weight 1/8-3/4, line weight 6-14.

tjolds,
Mitchell made 2 versions of the 50th ann. reel. The most sought after is made in France by Mitchell Sports. Other version made in China. The France one came in a cardboard box with green on the outside with the usual extras. The one from China was packed in a clear plastic container. Condition and all original packing reflexs value. Information taken from "The Mitchell Collectors Book" by Dennis Roberts. To determine what yours may be worth check out ebay for current and completed auctions on the reel. Good Luck!

Kim, Thanks for the info on the Mitchell 50th Anniversay rods. I have the China made rods in mint condition. I guess I need to get a copy of the Mitchell Collectors book. Are they still available?

I collect a variety of reels and lures. My main interests are kentucky style, tournament, early fly, some saltwater, Indiana, and UL spinning reels. I also collect lures primarily from Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, and South Carolina.
