Hi Bigone,you are right they are still great reels even after all this time.Market leader for many years.Even though a bit dated now I still use my 300S reels for my big bream fishing and some of my carping.My 440 Match is still used on my quiver rods.
If yours is black then I pressume it is the 840 model (or 841 if cack handed!) if so it is the same procedure to change the spring as shown.Also same spring part number-81081 (or 81932 for the 441/841 models).

AnglerPaul, I just joined today and your post caught my eye. I live in New Jersey, USA. I recently went to an outdoor flea market and purchased a couple of used reels and rods. One of the rods had a Mitchell 300a reel attached. This reel looks like it was hardly ever used. I realize that your post is from quite awhile ago, but if you got that much enjoyment from that reel, it would give me great pleasure to pack it up and send it to you. Let me know if you would like to have it. Sharkfin |
