Mitchell Reel Forum

Hi Mitchell Forum.

How can I find out which models were made in right hand wind? Is there a list showing this?

Also, is there a resource that has a photo of each model?

Thanks cheers.

Greeting Niknat,
to the Mitchell Reel Museum.
This link will take you a list of Mitchell reels. https://mitchellreelmuseum.com/list-of- ... 1939-1989/

With this list you will see reels with both odd and even numbers.
If a reel has an even number, like 300, 308, 408, 508, then those reels are made for people that are right handed and use their left hand the to crank in fishing line. If the reel has an odd number, like 301,309, 409, 509, then these reels are used by people that are left handed that use their right hand to crank in fishing line.

Sorry, there are no pictures on this site that display Mitchell reels. You can go to ebay, then do a search for most Mitchell reels and see how these reels are designed.

Regards,
Ted Lanham
