Anyone Collect Old Fishing Reels?| Post Here

I own some of the newer penns(battle, sargus, etc), their nice but don't think they will stand the test of time, like the older models(they're not designed to)

Picked up a new reel. Its a later model Mitchell 308a, the graphite model. I buy everything local, I'm not a serious collector; tend to buy the reels I fished with or saw other people fishing with as a kid.

I have plenty of these guys, just have a soft spot for the other.

I just put the reel on something so I could put the line on it.
