MITCHELL was original

These concepts of Japanese reels are the MITCHELL's original.

Shallow spool
MITCHELL300 series sold with a free spare shallow spool.
Some Japanese reel's shallow spools cannot fit on deep spool models. So, Japanese anglers must buy new reel only for shallow spool.
Large spool & small body
Daiwa's ABS series is Large spool & small body concept.
MITCHELL 200 series had same concept before ABS.
Tangle free bail arm
MITCHELL 300 had this type bail arm since 70's.
Strong bail
Daiwa's spinning reels have strong bail with large diameter stainless tube.
97MITCHELL Quartz had a strong bail too.
Water proof
Lube port
MITCHELL300 had a lube port for easy maintenance.

I think original is great......
