We were following the wives through some flea market and he spotted a guy selling used rods and reels. I spotted a Mitchel 400 series spinning reel that had a really smooth action on a 9' heavy rod. Seller was wanting $75 for the pair. I knew those old Mitchel's made in France had machined metal gears inside. Told him to buy it if he was looking for a bargain so he did.Later he looked it up on ebay, and saw a couple over $130 for the used reel alone. He's so tight that he squeaks when he walks, so was pretty happy at the bargain he got.</blockquote>
