I still have two Mitchell 701's that I bought in 1970, and they both still work. Haven't needed a replacement spring cause I close the bail manually. The only reason I don't use them as much any more is cause they are built like a tank and weigh the same amount. Being 75 years old I enjoy my ultra-light Shimano's. Seems like most customer service is a dying art these days.
Hi Nam. I know what you mean about weight. I pick up some of my old rods n reels wow. I'm 74 n farming n construction has my hands n joints pretty messed up. Glad theycame out with lighter gear 😁😁
