Our properties border on the Cross Florida Greenway and the Ocala National Forest along the Ocklawaha River and Rodman Reservoir. That old storage building dates back into the 1950's and has STUFF in there belonging to her grandfather, father, uncle, and mother -- all deceased. Wildlife on land here...

Hello GreatLaker and Piscesman: Those two Garcia Mitchell 300 reels belong to my lady friend, and I try not to prod her into anything that she doesn't decide to do on her own. I learned with my darling ex-wife that they will tend to do the opposite of what I suggest. My lady friend knows that I rese...

Hi GreatLaker and all others: OK here are photos of the two vintage Garcia Mitchell 300 reels that I have happened-upon so far. SN 4116165 (MFD 1961 in France) and SN 4836507 (MFD 1962 in France). MORE PHOTOS!

Hi GreatLaker and all others: OK here are photos of the two vintage Garcia Mitchell 300 reels that I have happened-upon so far. SN 4116165 (MFD 1961 in France) and SN 4836507 (MFD 1962 in France).

GreatLaker, I post some photos of the now two Garcia Mitchell 300 reels SN 4116165 and 4836507 when I get a chance.

In my significant other's storage building I found another Garcia Mitchell 300 SN 4836507 that might have been purchased long, long ago by her late uncle. It appears that it was MFD in France in 1962 according to https://mitchellreelmuseum.com/dating-m ... l-numbers/

My significant other purchased a used Garcia Mitchell 300 Serial Number 4116165 from a yard sale maybe 10 years ago. It appears that Garcia Mitchell 300 Serial Number 4116165 may have been manufactured in 1961! According to https://mitchellreelmuseum.com/dating-m ... l-numbers/

Thanks to the GreatLaker and the Sandman for the information! I've also owned a Garcia Mitchell 300 and a 308 in the past but no longer have those excellent reels. My Garcia Mitchell 306 is on a 9-foot surf spinning rod and I still occasionally use it with live or cut bait for large 6 to 20-pound fr...

After reading this article <https://mitchell-collectors-international.org/articles_datingmitchell.html> I believe that my Garcia Mitchell 306 reel was probably manufactured in 1970 as I originally had thought. It seems that in 1971 all Garcia Mitchell reel serial numbers began with an alphabetic let...

Back in probably 1971, I purchased a Garcia Mitchell 306 and I still have that 306 today with the serial number 1050748 stamped on it. Was it made in 1970 or 1971 or ? Thanks for any information regarding this 306 with the serial number 1050748 engraved into it. 2024-05-17 0842 Garcia Mitchell 306 S...
