mercman Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks for that John !!! When i see my brother next time, i am going to see if he will part with som of his old crank baits and such. I know he has tons of them in boxes somewhere.I love the nostalgia of the old stuff. I used to have a Sigma, back about 25 years ago just like that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunker Larry Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 The old Mitchels reminded me of the one I had. If I let it sit with line on it the line would crush the spool. Happened 2 or three times before I gave up on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happened 2 or three times before I gave up on it. WOW !! What kinda line ? Mono?. These 2 have been sitting for at leas 25 years without being used and the spools are perfect. I even have 4 or 5 extra spools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
