What Do You Consider A 'good' Cast?

My wife and I bought ours in 1964.....a few years after you They could be a little noisy but they last forever with a little maintenance. So simple to work on that my 10yr. old daughter took hers apart, cleaned, lubed and reassembled on her own. Other excellent reels from that era are the Shakespeare 2052 and 2062s.

I wasn't making fun of the noise. My Mitchell may be one reason why I like the sound of a shutter tripping on an SLR camera.

Dad bought my Mitchell 300 when I was 6 (1954), and I used it up into my very early 20's. We didn't get to fish several times a week, but pretty sure the reel caught a few thousand fish...mostly panfish with a few double digit catfish and carp thrown in. No idea what happened to it. Would love to have the reel if for no other reason than nostalgia.
