Bogdan Large Trout Reel - LHW

Bogdan Large Trout Reel - LHWA superb Bogdan Large Trout Reel, set up for LHW. 3 1 4" diameter with a 31 32" spool width. Weighs 5. 5 ounces and designed to hold a #7 line and 50 yards of backing. Fixed drag with a satisfying click. Near mint condition, with just a three tiny marks on the rim and what I would describe as a few handling marks on the faceplate. Very clean overall and I'd be surprised if it was fished more than once or twice. Silver frame, spool, foot, serpentine

The stripping guide is a perfection and the ferrule wraps have only the slightest beginning of the usual casting cracks
