Important: For delivery to non-UK destinations please see international shipping then contact me before ordering.   


** Trotting enthusiasts should note that, in common with the Prince range, the rotating head rotates in the opposite direction to most other vintage Mitchell reels (300/301, 410/411, 440/441 etc) thereby bringing the line to the inside of your forefinger for better line control when trotting, and much better for instant striking, so you'll miss fewer bites!

Mitchell 314 "Super CAP" (Made in France circa 1961)

Early Mitchell 314 (aka "Super Cap" because it was similar to the Cap 304 having "Planamatic line lay", one-piece bail with hardened line guide & contoured handle knob, but with the improved anti-reverse, folding handle & quick release spools). Excellent condition and complete with 1 deep & 2 shallow spools, one if which was recently loaded with 5lb Maxima nylon line and not used since). Very collectable and highly useable. Suplied in a good quality oval zippered pouch.

Trotting enthusiasts should note that, as with the Mitchells 304 (CAP), Prince 308 & 408, the bail rotates in the opposite direction to most other traditional Mitchells such as the 300 & 410, thereby bringing the line to the inside of your forefinger enabling much better line control, particularly when trotting!
