1956 World Champion Spin Casting Demonstration

Presented by The Mitchell Reel Museum website http://www.mitchellreels.net, a 1956 spinning reel demonstration video of Johnny Dieckman using a Mitchell 300 fishing reel.

In 1956 Garcia; the exclusive North American distributor for Mitchell made three 16mm sound demonstration films to teach people how to use an Ambassadeur 5000 bait caster, a Mitchell 300 spinning reel and how to fly fish. The instructor in this film is Johnny Dieckman, the World Casting Champion! These amazing 16mm films were recently found and have been converter to video and now were showing them to the world. These three are just the start, much more to come!!!

This is beautiful. I love old educational films! Do you know if this was filmed in Florida, and if so which part?

[FishingFilmHistory]

@charliewecker I think it was filmed in Florida but don't know for sure. It never says where in any of Johnny's videos but it does say Florida Everglades in the one on Joan Salvato.

i would fish that guy under the table. i got thumb cancer from lippin so many bass

[FishingFilmHistory]

@paulc43 Using 1950s equipment in a row boat with no electronics against a world champion? I doubt it but I am very happy your super ego would think so. I am sad you have thumb cancer, maybe you should take it out of your bass?

amazing that they could get that slow motion of the reel on camera back then. I actually learned something watching this.....great thanks for posting.

[FishingFilmHistory]

The slow motion was the best part. You should see it in full resolution on DVD...

That's good to know. Looks like fun. Will look for it next time I'm at Wally's World. Ignore the Peanut Galley.

eagle claw makes a great rod that has that amount of ridiculous play, they sell it at walmart it's all yellow.

@paulc43 haha so what --' nobody cares.

[dookiekong007]

I used to have that reel at the beginning of the video until a dumb kid stepped on it. I missed it so bad because it was given to me by my passed-away Grandfather.

[crackly]

[rocrfella]
