My Mitchell 308, purchased new in '73, is my go-to for small pond fishing, along with a Mepps spinner or a Rapala minnow.
My turquoise and white '72 Moto Le Champ has become the commuter/errand runner and the black/red full Campy '72 MotoGrand Record takes the fun trips. Viva Le France!

Still learning
Just picked these up last Wednesday. Very nice from a low volume producer, 33,000 cases annually, about 3 hours of Moet & Chandon daily production.

Our thoughts and prayers need to flow to Belgium as well as these rabid parasite killers have infested them as well.

Yes the Mitchell 300 was an iconic reel. Wore out a few of them casting at Mackerel Schools in Nova Scotia. The Brass gear system was the ticket for Salt Water Fishing, no Rust. All the high end ones now are Plastic. Woops sorry Carbon Fibre.

I am going to be honest here. I have a Love Hate relationship with the French. In no way do I condone recent events in Paris and I suffer for their losses. People here may need a History lesson as far as what happened in France during WWII. I know to some people this is ancient History but to others the hurt still runs deep. During 1942 13,000 people (supposedly Jewish) were herded into a Paris Velodrome by the French Police. There were two relatives of mine that were included and were not Jewish but reported to be by a vindictive neighbor to be so. They ended up at at Auschwitz and were so called part of the Nazi's final solution. More info here.

^Wileyone, my sobering respect to you and your relatives.
I find it important to occasionally bring those terrible times and conflict up. Occasionally I discuss this stuff with the kids and where most of this today is erased from school teachings. Why, I don't really know but will say its an eye opener for the kids and seems to bring a maturing compassion about life to them. I've also found it a delicate subject to discuss with young teachers today. Either its too provocative, they don't believe it or perhaps the new teaching technique is to slowly erase talk of war's, aggression and hoping the following generations are to look only at a rosey pollyanna day.
Though its also important to note the French indeed took less suffering under the German occupied, but yet had large amount of rebels that continuously foiled and sabotaged them. And at what cost? Either comply for survival or it was extermination including all of family. Terrible consequences either way.

On a finer 'note', the sound of a V-12 Matra GP car, vintage 1968.

Sorry, but since this is starting to get too political it is going to be closed.
