This is a Daiwa "MIni-Mite GS-0" Gold series skirted spool Spinning Reel. It was made in the 1970's and is still thought of as a great reel. The gear ratio is 4.1:1 and only weighs a mere 6.5oz.. The box shows the age, but is still in good condition. The reel is in great shape, but it looks like it was mounted once.

BRETTON 804 spinning REEL MADE IN FRANCE & BOX

Closing : Apr-25-09 19:17:00 PDT
Click HERE for details!

The lucky high bidder will win a vintage BRETTON 804 spinning reel with the box in SUPER nice condition. The reel was made in France -- I think in the late 1950's.

The conditon is outstanding --the reel may have been used a few times but the reel sure looks nice. The box is a little worn and has a split seam on one side.

The reel needs oiled and lube if you are going to use it--it is a little stiff from storage and lack of use.

Please look at the photos as they will show an outstanding vintage spinning reel.

I found 2 of these reels together and am selling both this week-- if you like these types of reels be sure to look at my other auctions.

I think these were made and were a competitor reel to the old Mitchell 300 line of spining reels made in France by Abu Garcia. Anyway if you collect old 1950's spinning reels made by Bretton, Abu Garcia, Mitchell, Orvis , or any of the early manufactures then this reel will go nicely into that collection.

# PayPal is the primary paying method that I accept. eBay allows me to accept other payment methods only under special circumstances that follow their guidelines. No PayPal? Email questions that you may have.

Robichaud Fixed spool Fly Reel 5weight. RHW

Here is a very nice fly reel from the bench of Dave Robichaud. This reel was made in the early 1990’s. They have not been made for a number of years and have become a modern collectible reel. It is about 2 15/16 in diameter and 1 1/8 wide. The reel will easily hold a 4,5 or 6wt line and backing. There is currently about 100 yards of 20 lb backing on the reel.and the reel had a 5WF on it. The reel was used very little, there are no significant scratches, only one small nick on rim about 1/32 of an inch in size. It is in near mint condition. And it functions at 100 %. Robichaud reels are the best of the followers of the Bogdan school of reel design. The reel runs on small sealed ball bearings and is very smooth. It has a pleasing click check that is fixed and no adjustable drag. It is RH wind only ,to change you must have a left hand pawl. And I do not.This reel is a fixed spool and not his “press and turn” quick change or maintain spool. A very fine classic style reel to accompany your finest rods, they are a very reliable reel. It comes in what looks to be an original pouch for this model. I apologize because I cannot verify this.

Mitchell 300DL, Deluxe model, with original wooden box

Closing : Apr-26-09 18:17:52 PDT
Click HERE for details!

This is a rare Mitchell 300 DL ('De Luxe') with gold plated details - "Made in France".

I inherited the reel from my mothers uncle who was a dedicated fisher for over 30 years. I suppose he got it for a birthday or when he retired or something like that.

As I understand it from the Mitchell collectors international site it's probably a version that was made between 1962-1974 in approx. 4000 units, and was available only in Europe. This conclusion is based only on the fact that my uncle lived in Sweden (Europe), and that the reel is inscribed only with "Mitchell 300DL" and no Garcia name or Balzer logo. But, as I said, it's just a guess.

There is a number under the foot, 4577263, maybe it can tell somebody something?

The reel doesn't seem to be used, but there is line on the spool so I don't really know - look at the pictures and judge for yourself. I've tested that it's working mechanically. It works just fine! The golden name plate attached to the reel is blank.

The wooden box seems to be made of teak and measures 6.5" x 5.5" x 3.7" (16.5cm x 14cm x 9.5cm).

You are looking at a Zebco Cardinal 3 reel with it's original box in good condition.

The reel shows some wear on the edge on the one side in the photos, and the foot has a little wear.

The springs in the photo one size is for the #3 cardinals and the other was for the #4's so i included both sizes because i could not remember.

It does not need them they were just a handy part to have as this is what went if anything ever went. The extra spool , i think is brand new I can't find any sign of use and the original thick rubber band was still around it. It also comes with the schematics sheet as well.
