Mitchell 900 reel. This is a reel that belonged to my Dad. Fenwick rod, that also was my Dad's.
I decided to disassemble and clean the reel in order take it up north on my next fishing trip.
As usual, I had to assemble and disassemble the reel multiple times to get it put back together correctly but it runs as smoothly as possible with it's old technology and engineering. Before I cleaned it, the handle would stop as soon as I stopped reeling. There was a lot of old gunk ,grime,dirt, and old grease in it.
The reel and rod are dated sometime from the early 1970's.
As I said, I'm going to take this outfit up north in the hopes of catching one more fish for Dad with it, then retiring the outfit to a place of honor. My Dad loved to fish in Minnesota and Canada.
Dad, I hope you approve.
