Reels

Post by Jimbo »

So during covid, I started buying older spinning reels and I believe it’s gotten out of hand a bit. My main focus was Mitchell, but I ended up going after reels made in all different countries. Rather than post tons of pictures, let me know what you’re looking for, I might have it.

Do you have any high-end ultra-lights? I have Alcedo Micron and Cargem Mignon UL, but might buy another of either if condition and price is right. I also have a DAM 110N and like it, but don't need another. I haven't found a nice enough DAM 110 yet where I could swallow the price, but would like to. Same with Orvis 50 -- just can't find one that is nice and reasonably priced, but would like to. I'd also like to find a really nice tiny Penn. After those, I'm interested in anything I haven't seen before! I don't care anything at all about the boxes/paperwork etc. which is part of what is making the really nice ones more expensive than I want to pay.

There are several ORCA members in Italy that are always on the lookout for Italian made spinning reels that were distributed in North America.

A detailed list with prices and possibly a couple of group photos from all 4 angles would be nice.

Not really sure on prices, I grew up walleye fishing with zebco cardinal and Mitchell 300s then got into bass tournaments. I just started working on older Mitchell’s last summer for fun and ran into a few odd reels along the way. I’m learning a lot from this site too, I don’t want to rebuild any reels that don’t have original parts. If you see something interesting, pm me about it.
