How do I know what spools I have?

Post by jamesbaxternelson »

Hi there. I have two Mitchell spools that I am unsure what reel(s) they are for. If I provide some pictures, can you help me?

Thanks

James

James, :text-welcomewave:
I am pretty sure those are for the Mitchell 300 reel family.
Kind Regards,
Bill :D

Thank you. I only have one Mitchell Reel. A 300c. Will those spools fit that reel?

Yes, they will fit a 300C OK, you have a deep and a shallow spool there, the shallow being the one with the most line on. It looks as though that spool has a buckled clutch adjuster possibly.

jamesbaxternelson,
Bailarm may be talking referring to the drag adjustment knob on one of the spools. It looks to be a little wonky.
