How much does a vintage Mitchell 308 spinning reel weigh?
I think I'd like one of these for ultralight fishing. Most modern reels seem too cheaply made, but I know these old Mitchells are solid.
Don't know the appoximity, thinkin' 9 1/2 oz (don't quote me now 
) Depends on what your referrin' to as Ultra-Light ie., size of rod, line etc., but I'm thinkin' you'll be alright with the 308. The old metal bodies are still "music to my ears" and am glad ta' see manufacturers turnin' the clocks back to them. Don't get me wrong the reels of ta'day are of great quality, but I personally favor the "old stuff". Best place ta' locate one (if ya' haven't already) would be on ebay. Link below be just for that. Good luck and am sure others on Answers can steer ya' right on their exact weight ...
