Everyday post a photo of a reel you own.

That's just too pretty!


Here's one my Dad had to use fishing off Tsawwassen way back. I inherited it but had stuffed it away for 15 years or so. I stripped off the old line, lubed it, cleaned it up a bit. It's still in useable condition with nothing worn inside. IT says 1977 on the sticker but I don't know if that's the year of manufacture or not.

I've been meaning to post these pics for ages.

PEETZ Manufacturing (1977) Ltd. Is the official name for that era. Bill Hooson bought the company directly from the Peetz family in 1977. That decal only appeared for a short time in about 1979.

After SpringFever552 posted pics of his Mitchell spinning reels I was kicking myself for not buying the one I saw at a local antique shop prior.
Well I thought I’d look in again yesterday and found this beauty in pristine condition:
I also found this link to the year of manufacture by model: https://mitchellreelmuseum.com/list-of-all-mitchell-reels-1939-1989/

I fished with that exact model when I was a young teenager 64 years ago. I loved that reel.

Here's another one of my Reels. When I bought this Mitchell 782 ages ago, I loved using it.



Here's the business side



I found the 1992 /1993 Fishing Guide in an old tackle box I inherited. I just thought it would be neat to include it with the Mitchell. I stripped off and replaced the old line, then cleaned and lubed the Mitchell so it's ready to go if needed this year.

The Garcia Mitchell 300 series of Spinning Reels is iconic. I still have several that I regularly fish with that my father and his fishing partner purchased and fished with in the late 50's Early 1960's, They work as well today as they did then ! A connection to the past and many great days on the water.

In going through boxes down at PEETZ, I came across six prototype reels that were made with different types of wood compared to the standard mahogany reels we generally make. Bill thinks they were done before he owned PEETZ. They were all together assembled other than the new reel foot and spindle that I added to make them whole functioning reels.

The collectors out there will appreciate these one off, one of a kind 5 inch Classic Knuckle-Buster reels.

A family member kept these reels, with line, attached to old school rods. Maybe from the 70’s? They still make a great ratchet sound when I peel line. Kinda like closing the door of a solid 60’s car. Quality.

PEETZ Tackle Ltd. was from 1967 to 1973

Are you running a spinner above your hoochie? If so can you show me how it’s set up.
Thanks
