RE: Fav. Brand spinning reel.
I have several brands Abu Garcia, Quantum, Zebco among others, but my all time favorite is the 50yr old (approx) Mitchell 301 that my uncle gave me when he gave up fishing years ago. It's been to a Mitchell repair clinic once and had the handle replaced, cost me about $5.00 at the time (late 60's).The problem was not the reel but my uncle the modifier.
