Mitchell 3330Z

LittleFish · #1 09-21-2011, 12:44 PM

I've been going through my coarse fishing gear up in the loft and have found a Mitchell 3330Z F/S reel.
It was given to me years ago by my brother - in - law and looks as good as new.It is according to the box,a medium spinning reel with a capacity of 220yds of 6lb line.
As I no longer go coarse fishing I was thinking of selling it,trouble is I haven't a clue what its worth.
Any suggestions?

Yes chaz you're right about the odd shape

If you know of anyone who wants it let me know

i liked the shape it was quirky they did 2 other modles (misty memories of a young man looking in tackle shop window ) but they were never the 300 or 440 auto match if it was an 840 in good nick i would have tore your arm off they are the one to have usualy come in brown lol anyway they went down hill after that never the same quality

i have 6, 440a s 1 blue (original clolour) and 5 black, all auto bale arm, brilliant reels, was intrigued after littlefishs enquiry, looked on fbay, unbelievable prices, as low as £1 bids.
