Plastic Mitchell 300

Post by werpmolens »

I am a collector, but like to work also on special reels as a hobby.

After the plastic 300 and the plastic 308, made of clear plastic , I had the idea of making a Mitchell 300 in our National colors. Red / White and Blue.

It took more than 12 hours to build this reel but the result is so nice...

The reel is made of plastic, the housing is Blue, the rotor in red, and the sideplate in White.

The handle knob is also made in red.

All the other parts are original Mitchell 300 parts, the reel works like a clock.

It is not build for fishing but it should work if you did.
