Manuals
MITCHELL is great also on its manuals although it is becoming poor .
Discarding old line
The right picture is a way of discarding old line . It is not a so good way at present .

But MITCHELL wrote on this page , " Over the years , countless animals and fowl have been injured or killed by anglers thoughtlessly discarding old fishing line " and " The most efficient method of disposal is to burn old or unwanted monofilament . If this is inconvenient.... " .

It is enough on `70s manuals . Moreover this page is placed before the pages of " how to cast " and " how to hook " .

True gripping and casting
The right gripping . It is basic on all of sports .

The positions of thumb and reel leg are good .
MITCHELL advices " The tip of your finger is far more sensitive than the first joint and this is where the line should rest before the cast " .
The illustration of casting .
It is not " over swing " of double hand casting like some of Japanese anglers .
Line control
MITCHELL uses 1 page for this .
Knots
5 ways of knots are wrote .
How to hook and play a fish
It's is like a fishing manual !
Maintenance
The way of maintenance is wrote on all models .
Impression of French to Germany ?
It is interesting for me " 210g " and " 4,4:1 " are wrote on only Germany .
Anti-reverse
MITCHELL says " The anti-reversw allows , when you have a catch , to have the hand holding the handle free to net the fish " , " It is not recommended to have the anti-reverse << on >> all the time " on `80s manuals .

I like this stubborn MITCHELL .
Camera
This is a page of Canon's camera manual .
The right gripping is wrote although it is Japanese product .

Compere them to the manuals of Japanese manufactures .

The basic knowledge of fishing and fishing tackles are the culture of fishing . MITCHELL has been keeping this culture of fishing .

Japanese manufactures have not been doing it . Moreover they have been selling their spinning reels with right handle setting on Japanese market . So , most of Japanese anglers don't know the right gripping . And , they are winding their spinning reels by their right hand !

Japanese manufactures are the breaker of the fishing culture . They must be criticized . (2003/12/26)
