Hello collectors,

Collecting old reels is a nice thing to do, but fishing them is a second option.

Rob Matarazzo has send me some nice pictures of the reel he took back in service, the Mitchell 302.

This Mitchell reel was made to do the hard work in the Saltwater, and Rob is still using it today, I am very pleased to see this happen, because those reels were made to be fished.

Here some pictures he send me.

I am not familiar with the names of the fish but I think they are: Bluefish and Striped Bass,

Striped Bass and Bluefish are the primary fish sought by surf fishermen in the Northeast part of the U.S.

Nice fish for sure.

Thanks Rob for sending the pictures.
