Garcia Mitchell 408 (circa 1970)

French made Garcia Mitchell 408. The smallest Mitchell designed for light freshwater fishing. Similar to 308 but high-speed Gleason gearing and distinctive dark blue finish.

Trotting enthusiasts should note that the bail rotates in the opposite direction to most other 300 & 400 series Mitchells thereby bringing the line to the inside of your forefinger when trotting - much better! Some paint loss but mechanically perfect and complete with spare spool...
