Registrace 16. 04. 2009
Since 2000 I've been playing with my favorite hobby, collecting, studying and researching Mitchell fishing reels and its history. In 2006 after my first book on Mitchell reels was published called "The Classic Mitchell 300 Spinning Reel", I started building a website dedicated to all things Mitchell called the Mitchell Reel Museum.
Due to the overwhelming interest worldwide, in 2011 I started the Mitchell Reel Museum Discussion Group to help with all the questions coming in worldwide. We are not an exclusive club or organization of any kind. We are just Mitchell fishermen, collectors and historians who enjoy an open discussion forum on "vintage" Mitchell Fishing Reels.
Now in 2014, I am now building a new Mitchell reel website called the Mitchell Reel Museum Blog! This blog is to combine the best of the best information gathered from both of my other sites, the Mitchell Reel Museum and the Mitchell Reel Museum Discussion Group.

History of Abu Garcia Reels ~ Ambassadeur Reel History
The History of Abu Garcia Reels plus Ambassadeur Reel History:
Before there were Abu Garcia fishing reels, they were called Garcia Abu and Garcia Ambassadeur reels in The USA and Canada. See their 1950s, 60s and 70s ads at tinyurl.com/Garcia-Abu-Reels and tinyurl.com/Garcia-Ambassadeur-Reels in the Mitchell Reel Museum. www.mitchellreelmuseum.com
Like me, most anglers who love Mitchell reels were also hooked on Abu and Ambassadeur reels so, when I first saw this film "For Life: The Story of Abu Garcia" at iCast 2013, I was honored to see parts of my film collection shown on this film!
I just wanted to share this great documentary on Abu Garcia reels with everyone. Anyone who wants to view this film in HD, please see the original video at czcams.com/video/aSVjYBSrL68/video.html

My dad and I had Mitchell 300s back in the '60s and' 70s. They were great reels! One question : there's a casting championship?
Abu García García mitchell😊😊forever
Yes yes I am watching this emotion video on CZcams thanks a lot grands pa for gave me this wonderfull moment 🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
What special Is to me I am an garciamitchellreels& rods fan from 1970 my first fishing Tackle Is an García Mitchell reels & rods ❤❤😊😊😊
Tellme why only 5 minutes to garciamitchell reels& Roda😮😮I love my many rods& garciamitchell reels 😊😊😊
A master-baiter no doubt Rod in one hand….Penis in the other…..
Full of gators. Nice.
What do you use for the cleaner and what grease do you recommend?
All I fish with is 60's, 70's Ambassaduer 5000 & 6000. Or 1 90's 4500.....all great reels.
Abu Cardinal 55 was big with specialist anglers back in the 80s i had Mitchell's 300,a & Match & 208 that i still own & work as good as the day they was bought . Match could do with a repaint.
Wow imagine that reel until now still exist very durable ❤
I remember the day my parent's got the news that Johnny was killed in the plane crash. They spent the next few days grieving and trying to console Johnny's wife who was devastated. As a child, part of my world ended that very sad day.
It would be nice to see how the anti reverse spring sets in place. The reel was so gunked off the spring was off.. So I dont have reference to how it sits..
I’ve watched this over and over. It’s 10 and 2 not 12 and 3. As much as I love this video he doesn’t look like a champion Fly fisher.
Not everyone on the water is equal. You got guys in 100,000 boats with 25k worth of electronics vs the dude with a Walmart rod and some worms fishing from the bank.
This video has been presented by a guy that is an old school professional. Thank you so very much.
Well thank you for that! I was taught by my dad who was definitely old school! The only thing I didn’t do that he taught was I never use petroleum grease. But what do I know! He would field strip his Mitchell 300 reel after each use! Bless his heart❤
29分27秒は日本人のambassador [故 開口健]先生ですね❗️
This video was a huge help , I recently put together a similar setup to his , late 60's ambassadeur 5000 on a wright and mcgill denco 6ft medium casting rod and needed to learn how to cast this setup and his form and techniques was very helpful , tight lines all✌️
I hear about 3000, 4000 etc. series reels. Do the Mitchell 300 and 400 series compare?
I have the 5000 made in Sweden got it 2007 or 8 got it from Kmart Melb Au I returned a bait caster combo I paid $40 She says go an exchange it for another I returned and told her there all gone well go and pick something else so grabbed the 5000 thinking I would have to pay the extra $ she said no you can have it as an exchange it was over $100 yeeehaaaa. 🐊
I’ve never heard that before! I think you lucked out, but interesting experience for sure. Thanks for sharing 😅
2023 and still brilliant 👍🇬🇧
Fantastic tutorial! My 50 year-old 308 was locked up pretty tight. I leaned on these three sessions to tear down, clean, and reassemble. Thanks so much!
You are welcome my friend. Take care, Wallace
Hi is it normal for the bail to hit the spool when i try to open the bail when the spool is high up?
Hello, See link below to fix most bail wire problems: czcams.com/video/_muYtp4J5f4/video.htmlsi=7hzWhkMjGZ3Ad0QJ
私は日本人ですが、アブのアンバサダー等は同じ機種を複数所有したくなるのに対して、シマノやダイワのリールは同じ機種は1台あれば充分 性能云々だけでは語れないアブのリールはホントに素晴らしい 日本製のリールは高性能過ぎて面白味でアブには敵わないと思うのです
Hello friend, I want to congratulate you for your video about the fishing machine. I have had the same machine since 1968. I got it as a gift from my uncle, so now I want to ask you something, you must know more about the fishing machine. How many meters of thread does it collect on the reel, if it is of the following thicknesses of fishing line, for example: from 0.18 mm., 0.20 mm., and 0.23 mm. If you know, I will ask you for an answer, if not, then I will ask one of your fans for this question. You can also point me to a website, where I can read about this question of mine. GREETING

I love my Mitchell 300, but if there is one thing I can’t stand it’s those vintage hollow fiberglass rod. I have several and I don’t enjoy using any of them. I have better luck with stiff antique bamboo rods or a modern medium graphite 6’0 rod that’s been cut down a bit to eliminate the flop. I current run a Mitchell 300 with 10lb braid, shallow spool on a 5’5” Shimano rod, and another 300 with 8lb mono on a shallow spool on a 6’6” vintage Sears fiberglass rod. As soon as I find a shorter stiffer rod, the Sears rod will be retired! 🎣
Yo no puedo creer que en 1956 no se dieran cuenta que es incomodo cambiar de mano la caña para recoger el nylon la manivela para los diestros tiene que estar a la izquierda exelentes reel los abu!
Very good reel for beginners and very smooth
I have a 410 which I purchased new. This reel has always been harder to crank that my 300s. Its not an issue of packed greased. Might be a fit issue. Any ideas, a shim or something?
A "little" bass according to the commentator.
The abu record
She is also a Wulff. I believe her husband was Lee Wulff who, besides developing the hair wing Coachman dry fly, was a great fly fisherman, pilot and conservationist. Legends both.
Thank you so much! Take care, greetings from The Netherlands
I came across a mint condition Royal Javelin 78614 in the original Aluminum Tube capped with the Green Conolon Top at A local Goodwill for $7 today! Crazy find
Thank you, Wallace. I have a couple of these (and a half bail) and although I have serviced the insides, I was nervous in trying to attempt the bail service. Using your video, got them back together in the second attempt! Thanks again
That tool for loosening screws ,. Did anything come with the 300 to fit
this is A prime example of A product that was made to last, unlike so many things of today that are just throw away . Back when I was A kid our local sporting goods store had several reps. from Mitchell right before the opening of trout season that would preform yearly service and fix any mitchell reel free of charge . Truly A great product and company.
I forgot it every time on spring replacement
Outstanding piece of work.
My Dad (gone on now), brothers and I have used Abu round bait casters in the surf since the early 1970's. About 1980 my best (fishing buddy) friend bought the new 'acclaimed' Shimano Bantam 200 one day and felt like hot stuff. Great looking reel and well made. He used it for a year or two but.....well, he sold it and got a new, beautiful black 'Ambassador' that he still has to this day. That, right there, is some fishing story!
I have the 300a AMD these instructions work for that... it does add a gasket between the reel halves. Do pay attention to the shims. Good video.
Dudes were still dudes back in ‘56…”Hey, let’s fuck with that turtle.”
A big magnet might be helpful!!
Thanks for the 308 cleaning video. Very informative. I was looking for some details on servicing my 309. Your video was a great help.
And after all this excellence as what seems to be the way of the world these beautiful reels are now not the same some things never change for the better abu reels were one of them sadly.. Now i cherish the 6500cts i have luckily akios knew what these reels were and now do many parts to keep my joys running
hey what's Svartzonker doing there
the opening statement isn't true on 2023 any more
