I picked this combo up at a yard sale a week ago for the princely sum of $5.00. It looked like it had been dipped in motor oil and left in the barn for 40 years, but it cleaned up pretty good. It's identical to the first spinning combo that I ever bought. I had to string it up and take it for a spin and I caught a couple of small bass with it.

Great find!

Classic!

Love the old Mitchells! When I was a youngster I graduated from a zebco to the Mitchell. Still have a couple of them in the basement...330 or 440 I think, autobails.
