THIS LAST VERSION HAS NO GARCIA STICKER OR RAISED LETTER ON HOUSING JUST " MITCHELL 498 "

ALSO BLACK PAINT INSTEAD OF SKYBLUE AND ON THIS PARTICULAR REEL IS MOUNTED THE VERY RARE AND HARD TO FIND BOBYNIL SPOOL

THIS SPOOL IS MADE OF TEFLON AND WAS NOT PUT IN THE ORIGINAL BOX ON THE REEL AND NEVER SOLD DIRECTLY BY MITCHELL AS AFTER SALES , JUST MARKETED AND MARKED WITH

BREV. N° 751214 PATENTS PEND. writted under the spool

I HAVE FOUND SOME LUXOR REELS WITH BOBYNIL SPOOL

PRODUCT BY THE SAME FACTORY !!!!!!!!!!!

PROBABLY THIS SPOOLS WERE SOLD IN EUROPE ONLY OR JUST IN NORTH EUROPE AS AFTER SALES NOT BY MITCHELL VENDORS , I BELIEVE JUST BY MITCHELL DEALERS
