    Description

    This is a Very Rare model Mitchell Otomatic 330A Jet Black Color. This Model was sold Exclusively in Europe. This is a 1st Version Circa 1978-9 note skinny Fillet or non reinforced Stem. Also correct Handle and Color Spool for this year. Reel shows some  paint loss see pictures but  is fully Restored.  Crisp Auto bail is smooth and strong, Completely new Bail Assembly and much more ! No play between rotor and body!  This reel is fully restored and working Factory  perfectly. Deep correct Circa  spool for 10 to 18 lb test with a loud drag. Just checked Advanced Search and there has been NONE in recent sold , in fact I have not seen another 330A sold for over 5 years in the USA ! They did not produce very many of these , production run was only 2 years total making 1st and 2nd vrs models very rare ! A collector piece in any condition ! Comes with a Vintage Reel Case with Zipper no issues...Serial #G  Collector Piece
    Helpful Tip.. 330 models are 3 1/2 rotations , 440 models are 5 to 1 , 800 series 6 to 1 ... these line retrieving speeds are frequently ask questions by my customers. River or small bodies of water the slower models are ideal , Ocean Fastest ... I have all of these models for sale including the 2nd vrs 330A both Very Rare!
    This reel is Good for another 40+ years of pleasure ! Just add a Quality Oil after each season to the Bail Assembly and Lube Port at the bottom.  This is a Shelf Piece for collecting.
    ( Stand not Included in the Sale )
    These reels ( Auto Bails ) almost never are working properly due to the complexity of the Bail System. All of my reels are preforming correctly after a minimum of 2 hours each of complete breakdown cleaning and replacing all excessively worn parts with NOS parts.. IF you dont have one of these Auto Bails this is the perfect one to add to your Fishing Pleasure or Collection ! I rate this one a 10 Mechanical and 7.7 Paint. 330As 1st and 2nd Vrs are Very Rare  ( the 2nd vrs is a lower production run making it Rarer)
