The Infamous Mitchell Series 1040,1060,1090,1120

Post by ReelMan1988 »

I'm looking to purchase a 1120 which relates to a 12/0 Size. We currently own: Shape Rating 1 out of 10

2 : 1040 Both in rough shape

1 : 1060 In Decent shape

1 : 1090 In Decent shape

I'm interested on seeing if anyone does collect these reels, and If I could see a picture of the 12/0. I have never seen one on eBay as it is Rare. Also if anyone has pictures of the other Mitchell's in Pristine condition.
I'm also interested in knowing when the reels were made and if anyone has a website that shows them? Thanks.

If you do not know what I am talking about. Here is a Picture of one.

Since the original post is 13 years old I sorta doubt he's still looking for one now.
