dinger59 Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Gentle people of the forum, I just found my old dads Garcia Mitchell 300A with single red gasket and what vintage rod i could pair it with. I mainly fish for walleye either jigging or casting so something with medium action and fast taper. Ant Ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 In the 60's I ran white Shakespeare Wonderods for everything, switched to brown fiberglass Fenwicks in the 70's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted November 2, 2021 Report Share Posted November 2, 2021 Solid standby reel, I too have my Dads from around 1960, with the spare smaller spool. Caught everything from panfish to salmon. I had it on a Berkley 7 foot lightning rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikehunter Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 I own 4 of these reels. Loved the 300’s, the original from the 1940’s or it could have been the 50’s? and a 300 both from my late father and my own which no longer works. The 4th. which was given to me from a great next door neighbour who I miss very much. He gave it to me before he went into a nursing home where he eventually passed on to the great fishing hole in the sky. I also bought the new version a few years back so I guess there’s actually 5 of them hanging around in my garage. R.I.P Dad and Ernie. I hope the fish are hungry wherever you’re at.
