Bogdan Large Trout Reel

Bogdan Large Trout ReelA splendid Bogdan large trout reel in mint, unused condition. Set up for RHW. This reel measures 3 1 4" in diameter with a 31 32" spool width. It weighs 5. 4 oz on my scale and is designed to carry up to a #7 line and 50 yards of backing. Fixed click drag. Silver frame, spool, crank handle, foot, and oil cover. Black side plates. Comes packed in a brown leather drawstring bag. A nice option here to own a mint trout model from one of the best in the

but it remains in excellent condition cosmetically and mechanically the drag is still perfect

recalls the medium action of the classic Bamboo Rod despite its touch of modernity guaranteed by its progressive taper action that results in an unexpectedly delicate power and smoothness

and a little bit of hand soiling ti the cigar grip

Oil finish

It's from the same run of blanks as my limited edition rods in the leather case

The varnish on the wraps and script remains in pristine condition

With the included backing

back is slightly coming loose at the top
