[@tuckera1879]

The reason they made the old reels to come apart is because people weren't as stupid as they are now days and they could actually work on their own reel.

[@cs512tr]

lol too true

[@silvanogonzalez9386]

You do realize modern technology is a lot more advanced right? People today are much more intelligent, hence why tech is advancing as far as it is.

[@silvanogonzalez9386]

Also nearly everything is produced with cnc machinary and only serviceable with very complex or specific tooling..

[@walkermorales337]

Not just that, if something breaks and you can’t take it apart to fix it then you’ll probably buy another one so they can get more business that way with repeat customers

[@fin3590]

Silvano Gonzalez I use my dads old Mitchell reels on the river Severn in England. Not much different from my modern ones. They do all the same stuff and have a more basic shape so it’s easier to keep them clean

[@MrHobie728]

The old mitchell reels are all me and my dad use, between the two of us we have about 50-60 of them

[@MrUsedBrain]

How do you afford all those replacement bail springs? That is my only gripe with the Mitchel 300's.

[@nickleback3695]

bullshit never heard of that issue.

[@karlosvulture7707]

Shit you wouldn't have a spare spool and nut for a Mitchell 307

[@scottmichael3745]

I DO appreciate the quality and history of the older reels but the performance just can't match a modern Penn or other modern "high $" reel. The $15 Wal-Mart special usually won't last for long. You get what you pay for but I still collect a few older reels.

[@fourthjaropillo2154]

Agree bro i love those old reel and i know how yo fix its bail spring.

[@JessHull]

I love vintage fishing gear. I collect high end vintage and contemporary fly fishing reels and rods. Its great to see other young people like myself be into the old gear. While I'm strictly a fly fisherman I really enjoy your channel.

[@aliciawaller8095]

Took my brand new Battle II 5000 for a spin yesterday for the very first time and I hooked a 20lb yellowtail using a Ugly Stik X2 (medium hard) rod kzbin.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . This combo was recommended on some website and it did not disappoint me. The reel is smooth, the drag click is pretty cool cause i think it adds to the excitement of fighting the fish, personally the drag is my favorite part. I use braid and 300 yards will fill the entire spool. This combo is my main setup from now on although I have to disclose I am new to fishing.

[@carloscardona5674]

The sargosa caught all small fish the biggest fish you caught was on the mitchell....i love my mitchell 300 caught a California legal 34 in white sea bass on my mitchell 300 with a diawa regal strike on 20 lb test ..to me the drag on the mitchell is one of the best and is very smooth so you don't snap off any fish

[@elmerparedes1098]

Hey man, hope you’ve had more time to play with the 706. I’m from the east coast, it’s van staal, zeebaas, saltiga and torque country. I now live in salmon country. I personally have few 706, 706z, 710 reels. Some modified some not. I’ve used my 706 on a 9 foot lamiglas now for over 10 years and still catch fish over 20 pounds. Those 706 reels still have parts available, literally they cost cents, and are easily serviceable. So I hope you’ve given it more time to grow on you, those reels are indestructible.

[@kevinharrigan2727]

I really wish a company would remake these old reels! The sheer simplicity and ease of maintenance would be amazing compared to a lot of the newer reels out there.

[@MrCurtisass]

china doesn't make 'em like WE used too

[@BigNameJamesStuff]

@@MrCurtisass China makes them better!

[@80sRadDad]

Penn makes the 704z now

[@mr.c5647]

Hey Brandon, my generation fished with those reels, and we only used mono cause that's was only line available back then, and funny we still brought fish home at end of day. Why don't you ask your father what kind of line he used back in the day . And let's see if your saragpssa reel will still be fishing in 70 years.

[@patrickhascall7401]

Bingo! I have a lot of all metal reels. Mitchell, vintage Daiwa, etc. The youngest is 40 years old and the oldest almost 75 years. They were my dad's reels and now I use them over "any" new reel. I can't tell you how many new plastic cr%p modern reels I have tried and threw in a box or threw away. My favorite salt water reel is a Mitchell 302. I believe it is from the early 1960s. They are reliable and made in a quality that is long lost on modern manufactures of "anything" these days. I have a year old Penn that just is horrible in comparison. Quite disappointing considering how much it cost.

[@VirantRoss]

*MITCHELL REELS ARE SEVERELY UNDER RATED! PROBABLY THE BEST REELS I HAVE EVER USED* I'm still using several from the mid 1990s I will continue to buy Mitchell

[@benalmandres8851]

I agree!

[@happycat0411]

The old reels and rods were built to last. No ball bearings but no stupid gimmicks either. Though modern reels haven't changed all that much from the old school reels and rods our parents used (only we have better materials today at our disposal). The fishing gear our parents and grandparents used still does the same job as the fishing gear we use today. At that time it was the best that they had for fishing. The fishing gear worked and the gear caught fish. What more can you ask for? As a child we used the aluminum rods we bent off of the old TV antennas salvaged from old houses being torn down in the early 1970s. We then tied on on some fishing line to the end and a lead sinker and a bobber. The whole setup cost less than $3.00 and worked great for catching perch at the local reservoir. Fishing is a summer recreation for most people and people don't need to spend $500.00 on the latest and greatest gear just to catch fish.

[@karlosvulture7707]

Mate, I've used these reels all my life, and I have caught everything from small stuff to monster kingfish,they are reliable, tough, durable and simple, shimano is awesome gear as well,but fishing is all about fun,and if you lose a fish it really doesn't matter, you can always try again!!!

[@fourthjaropillo2154]

Agree bro

[@TheFishleclair]

Nothing beats an old Mitchel reel!

[@fergusguiver5974]

I fish with vintage reels very almost exclusively and Mitchell’s have become a distinct favourite of mine. At the end of the day it’s what you’re used to. I went from Mitchell 300s to an ABU Soron and I felt it was less sensitive. Obviously it’s not it’s just different. That being said, I fish on small welsh sea-trout and salmon rivers in Wales with those reels and for what you were doing you probably had to heavy of a line for the reel (6lbs-8lbs is the prime for these reels) if you want a vintage Mitchell more equipped for this try a Mitchell 440 which is a lot bigger. I might also add when fighting a fish retrieve speed is almost irrelevant, it’s about giving and taking line. You set drag for a reason. If I wound line in like you do on a 10lbs + Sea trout or Salmon in a river I’d loose it.

[@unicornsteaks6769]

8:00 Fore sure, it's slower than modern reels. But I'm wondering if there isn't enough line on it. As the spool gets fuller, the diameter gets larger. Would the retrieve ratio increase?

[@anthonycolbourne4206]

That's exactly what I was just about to comment on too. That spool is almost empty so of course it's going to feel like it's slower than expected, plus the "300" class is the slower geared version where the "400" class is the high speed version of the old Mitchells

[@TheRuffusMD]

My dad had a green reel just like you have. It was a great reel. I am going to go online and try to find one

[@bigvee401]

8:05 I use my 300 for trout fishing in rivers using a spin lure like a veltic, those spinners only need to be pulled along slowly making this reel ideal

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

I've caught 12lb steelhead on a 300. So operator error.

[@someoneelse2262]

Man, that Penn 704 was my first surf reel (1975), I still have it, and it still works just fine. It's kind of like driving a 1961 VW bug. Clunky as hell but totally functional.

[@robertoadrianogayamat5573]

I'll chalked that one up for my future garage sale raid!.. Yeah👍👍👍👍..

[@Cwnidog]

The Mitchell 300 series reel is a classic. I've been using a pair (the same ones) for the last 45 years. Just remember to rinse them after a day in salt water and lube them every once in a while and it will last forever. Or longer than you, anyway - which is the same thing. BTW - my "new" rig is a 20 year-old Penn 704Z. I've used them off of piers for such things as schoolie stripers and whatnot and found that they worked well. I have no experience with Tautog, so can't speak to it. I use 12 lb mono, it *does* stretch, which is why when I go into the surf, I use the larger Peen with braid. As always, adjust your gear to match your quarry. I've recently moved to central Florida's Atlantic coast and am learning new techniques & locations.

[@danielross59]

If you fill the spool on the small mitchell, it will be faster. More line retrieved per crank.

[@thebayoudiaries8389]

I LOVE old fishing gear. I have a multitude of old reels, with my favorites being an old Penn 155 Beachmaster. Also have an OLD Mitchell that I dated from the 40s. While new fishing gear is great, old stuff will always have a special place in my heart. Great vid as always Senko!

[@allencooke8925]

I live in the UK and the Mitchell was the reel to have in the 60. If you had loaded the spool up to 1/8 inch from the top you would have double the speed of your retrieve. I notice your spool was full on your new reel. Not a fair comparison ?

[@bobk.1428]

60 years from now that Shimano will be long gone and the Mitchell and Penn will still be catching fish. Just like so many other things the generations before us were so much better at doing things because they didn’t have technology like we do that makes everything easy.

[@bighoss1592]

When you're having trouble using a stiff rod take the line tension in your trigger finger and feel the line and if you are having trouble setting your hook from mono stretch use as light of a weight as you can get away with and sharpen your hooks!

[@fourthjaropillo2154]

Exactly bro thats what im doing also.

[@JMBlank1]

I love my older Penn bait cast & conventional reels for Fluke, Sea bass & other bottom fish, boat fishing in 20 - 60' of water on the inlets of Long Island. The Penn 109 I have, was purchased at Herman's sporting goods, year 1971 by my father when I was 6 years old, still have it!!

[@jimmueltuazon9658]

This video makes me want to sell my reels and get me that vintage reel. Looks dope and easy to maintain

[@thomasfalconer6476]

I have several Mitchell 498 and they are really one of my favourite reels

[@simonpieman1653]

at 7:26 you say the reel was slow but you can clearly see the spool is only half filled! so the reel is half the speed it should be.

[@jamesbrinson4783]

Love the videos! Keep them coming. How about using the OLD reel on a new modern rod?

[@duce8883]

I built a modern rod in retro style for a 1970’s penn ultralight I got my hands on, definitely worth getting the modern rod with an antique feel cause it’s a lot of fun to catch anything on

[@tcwilson1000]

Maybe you should fill the reel w line if you want it faster

[@bushleague3472]

I do most of my fishing with vintage Mitchell and Daiwa reels, spooled with mono, on Ugly Stik rods and they work fine. I fish a lot and I hate replacing $100 reels every few years, the vintage reels will outlast most newer reels by a wide margin, and they are very simple to maintain and repair. Sure they retrieve a little slower than most modern reels, and they don't have the same cranking torque, but I've learned to live with these minor handicaps.

[@HeySkipper]

Totally agree with you man

[@bushleague3472]

And just a heads up, I think the reason you're 300 felt so slow was because you didn't fill the spool up. They may not have a terribly fast ratio, but with the wide diameter spool filled the 300 does pull in a reasonable amount of line per crank. I agree that some of the Penn and DAM reels can feel pretty slow.

[@pyfith]

I agree I've been fishing in general over 20 years I'm 27 ill take a reel older than me over an overpriced reel that will only last 3 years. You can get used to the older in technology .

[@amped714202]

I have a awesome penn baymaster from back in the day.... my uncle gave it to me when I was a kid and it still works awesome. I have only had it serviced once.

[@HeySkipper]

+Andrew Williams have you ever tried fishing with it?

[@amped714202]

I fish with it all the time, it's one I take with me for large sharks as well as the occasional halibut and the fast and fun Bonita.

[@amped714202]

I'm moving to Oklahoma soon and want to get ready for lake fishing what rod and reel so recommend?

[@BurninVinyl]

man! that's mitchell 300 series! awesome! I used couple of them for seabass fishing with live bait. They are legends!

[@unicornsteaks6769]

The lady who lived next door to me for a couple years had over 100 of her late husband's combos that she wanted to show me. Most were saltwater, but a few were fresh. Most looked completely unused. I asked if she might want to sell any and she said "Oh, no, I couldn't do that." LOL. I think he was a hoarder and she was just hanging onto his memory through his fishing tackle. I understand because I have some of my dad's.

[@stuartweiss5141]

Fishing technology has come so far since we used those reels. It’s amazing how many fish we caught back then. That Penn was a workhorse and probably in every old guys closet. The only thing that could brake was the bail and if you were a surf guy, you bought the manual bail version.

[@SOLDTONORM]

I've used that Mitchell for 50 years. The only drawback is it corrodes easily. I buy "collectors" reels and rebuild my old ones for friends. Try filling the reel and you'll get more speed...about 4" per crank turn.

[@yangjianhunt]

I think It's not the line or the reel why you can't feel the bites. It's the rig. You have a heavy sinker and when bait stealers nibble and pull on the bait, they pull against the weight of sinker and the sinker makes it easier for fish to tear the bait off from your hook too. So all this time when fish work against the sinker, there is no movement on your mainline.

[@yangjianhunt]

this happen to me as well using the rig you are using the bottom rig. It is my favorite rig since it's easy to tie and you can rig it so that it becomes a breakaway rig by using loop to loop to connect the bottom sinker to the rig.

[@cluelessfisherman545]

Those old reels are made that way because you had to actually do your service on them, rinse them from salt and re grease it. It's pretty cool pulling those old reels apart and putting them back together

[@tango-bravo]

The Mitchell 300 is better suited for shore fishing on rivers and lakes. Anything heavier that 12lb mono line of them makes them a little funky to work with. Spoons, spinners and crankbaits don’t need super fast retrieval speeds to be effective. I use a 300 and also the smaller and slightly more rare Mitchell 304, which is one of their smallest spinning reels and is best set up with 4-6lb mono on a 5’6” light action rod. This is a great set up for any spots loaded with small pan fish like crappies or sunfish. Good video but I don’t think it’s a 100% fair comparison.

[@davidedwards2868]

The Mitchell 300 the best reel made I've owned one for 20 plus years with lite maintenance.

[@aliasdesignz]

So amazing hell they used to make things back in the day. But I love watching the progression of fishing gear. Would love to see a show on casting with all different size surf rods and the techniques. Thanks again for all you guys do!

[@HeySkipper]

+Rick Friedman good suggestion! Thanks rick

[@robertoadrianogayamat5573]

I totally agree with you dude.!! Guess what, sans the sleek looks of today's reels?, they won't last in as much as these vintage ones do... Love them vintage reels! 👍👍👍

[@easttnoutdoors9336]

I would love to find some older reels I have been looking for an old Mitchell 300

[@keytotheoutdoors541]

On Mitchell 300 I use for. Catfish all the time and last year I reeled in a 4 foot sand tiger shark on the surf. The Mitchell 306 I am going to try for sharks this year off the surf any thoughts on that?

[@codys2862]

The Mitchell 300 is a good all around reel for fresh water, I have two and they are all I use

[@travishunt588]

I still use the old 302s on alot of my rigs. You just can't beat those reels

[@idaho2085]

LOVE the old Mitchell reels. I have an oldie I use as a spinning bass rig now and again with a Cabelas Tourney Trail IM8 Graphite rod. It's a cool setup. I've caught a 6'8" Sturgeon on that rod setup too, so you CAN in fact get some monsters in this as well.

[@zachariahadams]

I use an updated Mitchell 300 from the 90s, same as the older ones, for all my spinning fresh water use. It's a 5.1-1 so it is slower than most of my casters. Practice with it. I wouldn't use it in salt.

[@nicks9360]

All I use are vintage Penn Reels with modern drags HT 100s and you got a real Workhorse Old school durability with a bit of modern technology and you get the best of both worlds. Spool it up with some braid. Those old wooden handle fiberglass rods are great for durability, heavy fishing and trolling but are heavy put old reel on a modern rod to help lighten it up and you'll get more feel out of it. Best of all you can Source out the old Penns relatively cheap do a little fixing up and you got some good quality stuff. One of mine is from the 40s and I still use it today all the time but my favorite is the jigmaster 500

[@deeplysorry6693]

My dad has the blue one but in grey and its really good on bringing in big fish its also really hard to get tangled

[@brianwalker2484]

I paired my Garcia Mitchell with modern rods. And I love them.

[@SHAMSFISHHUNTERS]

Hello bro were should i get this Fishing reel

[@lakesideinc]

these reels were made in an era where fishermen was the key word,,, it wasn't the tweeked out gear that caught fish ,,, it was based on the skill level of the fisherman ,,,,, you rely to mush on all the fancy bells and whiskles of your gear now a days ,,, a real fisherman can catch fish with them easily ,,, even just a bamboo pole is more then enough for a real fisherman ,,,, so I would say spend more time with those reels ,,, the Penn 704 is all I use,, for surf and inshore ,,and a Garcia Mitchel on a colonial pole for deep sea and boat fishing ,,,, after a while you can catch just as much as anyone else even with all the fancy gear ,,,,after all ,,fishing is a sport of man against wild .. a show of your true fishing skills .... to me all those newer things just make you sences soft and give you something to blame other then yourself

[@mikey6071]

I have the Mitchell 300 with 50 lb braid. Use a small rubber band on the sand fleas to keep them from coming off. Where exactly were you fishing at? Looks like a good spot to fish while it's raining or too hot!

[@lanceschustereit1896]

I think the Michell was designed for fresh water fishing they used to be very popular over here in the UK

[@paulbritz6276]

My michell 300 works great! MINE IS VERY FAST AND I USE IT ON largemouth bass.

[@novaculus]

Thanks for the fun video. Just as is true today there was a wide range of quality in the reels available in the early days of spinning reels. The development of nylon line by Dupont marked a milestone for reel technology, Notice the first spinning reel tended to be larger, due in part to the fact the early mono lines were pretty stiff and didn't work well on small spools. When the original Stren came out in 1959 smaller reels became a lot more practical. There were also slower and faster reels available early on. If you're fishing in a situation where fast retrieve speed is important you need a faster reel. Take some time, do some research, and you can identify some high-quality vintage reels that will serve you well. Times were different then and things were built to last (unless they were obviously being built to a price-point). The quality of materials and manufacturing of the some of the older rods and reels is really impressive. The older fiberglass rods will not be as sensitive as modern graphite rods in most cases but the quality rods are very tough and they will take static loads that will break graphite rods. They also tend to be a slower action, the transition from flexible tip to stiffer butt is slower. There is definitely a learning curve, too, if you're used to graphite rods. I grew up using glass rods and we learned to watch the tip of the rod for movement, not depending on feeling the bite. Low stretch lines definitely help and you can always use a mono or fluorocarbon leader. If you're using mono, it helps to use higher test for less stretch. If you do the same thing you would do with modern tackle, use quality gear and match it to your situation, you'll find the vintage tackle performs well and is a lot of fun to use.

[@gtopa1]

I like the old school ones.

[@AceSurvivalistGames]

I have 2 of the mitchell 300’s and they work lovely

[@richardmarsh7378]

I have nine 300s people on eBay are buying the hell out of them!

[@Symo231]

When the sand flea was bitten in half, you didn't hook the fish because the fish was nowhere near the hook, nothing to do with braid or mono. If the fish had hit the sand flea's head then you'd have hooked it. That's why you hook a bait in the middle if you're only using one hook

[@DavidLopez-nd6qr]

I would use that reel for big catfish they are so good I have one still in my garage now I want to put it back into use can you do a tear down video on how to get a old reel back into fishing shape?

[@etr420]

The Mitchell 300 is a classic freshwater reel - used to be de rigeur for English coarse fishing e.g. fishing with floats etc. There is an otherwise identical, but faster version called the 400. The big, fast Mitchell saltwater reel is the 498 or 499 (right/left handed). We use those for land-based game fishing. They use a roller instead of a bail wire.

My grandpa has a reel from 1944 and works like it's new

[@lakesideinc]

back when those reels were bought, it was an investment,,, it was a tool that you needed to learn take care of and service,, ,not like today " oh ,, it broke,,, ill just go buy another $600 reel" ... those reels were bought as a family gem to be past down through generation

[@lakesideinc]

fishing and hunting back then was 1 of your gateways into manhood,,, skills you howed ,,, and if your father gave you a Penn or he passed and left it to you ,,, it was a big deal ,,, with a little service they will out live you and your kids easily,,,, yeah things sure have changed,,, we become and rely on the top dollar disposable things ,, and when you don't catch anything you blame the gear ,,, back then if you didn't catch anything you asked a senior fisherman for pointer,,, he would never tell you you needed better gear, he was just as happy with a coke bottle and string( you old timers know what that means) as he was with a Penn reel and pole... SKILL is the key word,, but he would tell you the skill

Does anyone know what rod was he using for the penn spinfisher

[@otroflores91]

I love some of the reels I have from the 80s early 90s. They are not the fastest in line retrieve but work and don't corrode to hell if I forget to rinse them off. Next time you fish these old reels. Put a finger on the mono and you will definitely feel the bite and can set the hook. Seen that technique watching vintage fishing videos.

[@craighealy6186]

[@matthiasbrady2315]

what size of hook are you using ?

[@musalatip9659]

Just a question, whats the difference between a circle hook and a j hook rather than its shape? Which is better?

[@inreellife7372]

Mossy Patino circle hooks generally hook the fish themselves without the need for a hook set. Typically they result in a corner of the mouth hook up as well, making it easier to release fish that don’t measure up or are unwanted species

[@ninoechavez1402]

between stradic and Saragossa 5000, which would be a better choice for pier/inshore fishing? I'm leaning towards stradic mostly due to weight.

Lmao fished "Blackfish", for thirty years with mono and a Penn 704z and never had a problem. You kids need to learn to fish.
