THAT WAS A REAL POPULAR REEL BACK IN THE 60 ERA. THE MITCHELL 300 AND THE SMALLER 308 WERE REELS THAT NEVER SEEMED TO WEAR OUT. IF SOMETHING BROKE THEY WERE EASY TO REPAIR YOUR SELF.

I HAVE BEEN THROWING IT IN DEEPER WATER SO IT HAS A LITTLE TIME BEFORE IT HITS THE BOTTOM. YOU HAVE TO REEL IT BACK AT A PRETTY GOOD CLIP IN ORDER NOT TO DRAG THE BOTTOM ALL THE TIME.

I have seen them fish out of patio boats in a American Bass Tourment on shasta lake a few years back, so its must be ok. the patio boat was in the money also,lol. as long as you have some kind of live well and the proper safety equipment theres no reason why you cant.

Gene Bowen

I just wanted to say how great it is to see the weigh in live. the flw people are doing a great job putting it on the internet. They dont waste anytime weighing the fish and the weighmaster is great at the mic. other org should pay attention to what there doing. GENE

Gene Bowen

If i were a betting man i would put my money on BILL Mc Laughlin. the jig bite should be good with the cold front. Bill likes to fish jigs in deeper water and i think thats where the bigger spots will be.We have a pretty stiff north wind today so the heavy jigs should work well. GENE B
