The History of Mitchell Fishing Tackle
Mitchell fishing reels burst on the scene in 1948 with a reel that would revolutionise fishing, the Mitchell 300 Reel, named after the creator’s (Maurice Jacquemin) brother; Mitchel. The birth of Mitchell Reels and the 300 spinning reel brought new mechanics and appearance to the fishing world.
However financial troubles lead to the manufacture of Mitchel Reels outside of France, where they were traditionally created, however production continued and by the 1990s over 30 million Mitchell fishing reels had been sold, mainly due to the 300 Mitchell Reel. The company itself has gained a reputable reputation for their involvement in the fishing world, helping the environment with schemes such as the 1987 “one franc per reel” system in aid of French river conservation, and providing educational resource programmes for fishing in schools.

The latest reels to be produced by Mitchell include the 300Xe series and the 300XGe Mitchell Reel. This examples show the development of the 300 series reel, constantly taking it to the next level and improving its performance. These Mitchell Reels continue to sell at an impressive rate keeping the Mitchel reels legacy going. Another match reel that perhaps received less attention then expected at is inception is the Mitchell 440a reel. This piece of engineering is still sought after today as one of the best Mitchell Fishing Reels.
