Is anybody fishing the Mitchell 300 for steelies? or other fish?

The Made in France Mitchell 300 was the reference spinning reel for many years, in price range similar to the Symetre/Stratic price point when there weren't as many choices and things cost less, relatively speaking.

I've dug out my Mitchell and want to fish it, preferably on an old school fiberglass stick. I was never able to afford a good rod so don't know what to put it on.

Ideas are most welcome. Thanks.
