| Term | Definition |
| L Suffix | In the late sixties, Garcia sold a Mitchell 440 and 441 in The UK but only had the words Garcia Mitchell Match inscribed on the reel with no series number. The letter L was inscribed next to the word Match on the left hand “LH” version. |
| Level-Wind | The very first Mitchell reel had Level-Wind gear for line retrieval. Due to a very slow oscillation of the spool’s motion in and out; the line was distributed evenly on the spool. The problem with this type of gearing was line binding. Also see Cross-Wind and Planamatic for more information. |
| LH | A term used for Left Hand reels also called right hand wind or odd numbered reels. |
| Lightning Cast | First made in 1983/84 by Mitchell for Browning during Browning’s short involvement. Browning decided to “bring back the Mitchell 440A because it never gained the popularity it deserves.” This reel was the Mitchell 440A Lightning Cast commonly called the “ALC”. First versions were Match Grade quality and also available was the 441A Lightning Cast in very limited quantities. |
