Spare Spool for Mitchell Match 440A

[Derrick Lawrence]

It looks like the end to my most trusted, and yes, lucky, reel. My spool has dissapeared, can anyone point me in the direction of a replacement?

They are the official Uk service agents for Mitchell.
Credit cards/ mail order/ repairs/ servicing/ new reels etc etc.
I've used them myself and they are very good and helpful.

Derrick,
Email me for my address to send me a stamped addressed padded bag and I will return ,to you, three spare spools. They are no good to me ,my Mitchell gave up the ghost years ago.

Hi Derrick.
Just posted a thread about my 440A. Wonder if you can help? Just brought it and not sure if its working as it should. Good reviews but in practice not a good reel. Auto bail arm? Press to open but can't get it to close without fiddling about. My other Mitchell is a 410A which i love. Using it like a berk or is there something wrong?

 

[ED (The ORIGINAL and REAL one)]

Doesn't it close when you turn the handle ?

 

[Dave Gidman]

No, unless you hold it shut with one hand and turn the handle with the otherwhich is awkward to say the least. Should it just close like a normal bail arn when you turn the handle?

i can also reccomend reel care.....excellent service!!!

 

[Dave Gidman]

Very, Very helpful.
Hopefully i'll get a lot more years from the 440A when it comes back and i hope it'll have been worth the all the fuss.

Is romance in the air?

 

[Dave Gidman]

Nope, I was born and bred in Stoke on Trent. Moved to Suffolk 10 years ago, better fishing!
