Mitchell 758 Fly Reel
This beauty is my latest catch from ebay, it is a Mitchell 758 Single Action Fly Reel, and i really like the french design. I haven't seen one like this before, and had to buy it, as it was really cheap.

Unusual, I haven’t seen a design like that before. I can see a trend where the appearance of the wheel could become a status thing? Is the action smooth on it?

Hi Phil
Jip it’s really smooth, and i recently caught a few good trouts with it.
I simply like fishing reels that are not modern or not so popular.
I want to start a larger series of pictures of collectable flyreels, so stay tuned.

I just purchased Mitchell 758 Single Auction reel (same as yours) on the auction, can’t wait take it fish.
I really want it for trout but can I take it for the steelhead… ?,

I use it for trout only, maybe it’s a little bit too small for steelhead.

I bought this reel and like it a lot.
Well, solid design, maybe a bit heavy but I do like different designs or provenience of reels and enjoy them as well as the fishing.
I use 5tw line on it.
What line weight this reel is designed for?

I don’t know exactly, but 5-6 should be okay.
I use it with a DT5F and everything is fine.
