Thread: Mitchell 406

SOLD before I even hit the pier...

I'll be bringing an old school Mitchell 406, (made in France),to to pier in two weeks. Anyone interested in this type of reel?

Looks clean for its age......that is the high speed version......I love my 306

Bill, Your right, it is a high speed. These reels seem to be simple and indestructible. This is the next size up and seems to have a large line capacity. Might just keep it. I see there is a Bailless conversion available on line as well...

Same size, just the gearing is different,then the 306......that makes it a higher speed retrieve

OK then. Guess I'm thinking of the 302. So many models, so many birthdays!

How much for it

Randy, I'm thinking $35. Great condition. If I don't sell, I'll order the bailess conversion for $10 and try it. Never used a bailess reel before and I know some guys swear by them.

Hey Todd I'll look at it the end of the month if you still have it. I'm building a rod for the 302 I bought. Did you get s copy of the Mobile mag from June

Didn't get a copy of it Coach, but saw it online. I'll certainly be available for you to check out the real then.

I've got you a copy. See you soon
