Mitchell 308 Reel Service Video Part 1 of 3

[@jamesmcinally8863]

Today I bought an old NIB NOS Mitchell Garcia 408 that had a slipped dog spring (most likely came from the factory like that and never got returned or fished). Your video was a great help showing it's correct placement and (dis)assembly of the parts. Thank you so much!

I love the 308. Best trout reel ever made.

I have 8 Mitchell 300 and 3 Mitchell 308 Reels. This and the other tutorials have served me well this spring. The two 300 1960 series reels that say Mitchell (only) were stiff as a board. After running through your tutorials I was able to fix both of them just by cleaning them. I love these old reels.

Thank you for the post.It helped me to preserve a rare Mitchell 409 reel and service another 409 for my Small mouth jig fishing.

Hi from the UK. I have a couple of 206 s reels but the bail bumper/buffer has gone. Do you have any videos up on how to change it? I don't think I can do it without removing the bail arm and relevant assembly? Basically I am not an experienced reel mechanic. Any help gratefully received!

great video thanks

Can you make a service video on the 330

[@brianwalker2484]

Well I can't find anything on the 306. I can't figure out how to get the bail piece off. I don't see no pin!!
