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.

Thank you. What and where is the buckled clutch adjuster?

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