Bogdan Model 50 Reel

Bogdan Model 50 ReelA nice Bogdan Model 50 light salmon reel, set up for RHW. 3 1 2" in diameter with a 1 5 32" spool width. Weighs 9 ounces on my scale. Excellent lightly used condition with one ding and a second minor imperfection on the frame edge, but that's about it. The reel is very clean otherwise with no mounting marks on the foot or brassing to the drag lever (a common indication of use). Clear silver anodized frame, serpentine handle and counterbalance, oil

While visiting a friend's house in the late 1990's I was given a copy of "The Wedding Gift" for bedtime reading

Silver serpentine handle with counter balance

The rod is in excellent condition having been fished sparingly and cared for well

The ebonite sideplates are perfect

A nice AL Walker TR3 fly reel

The grip is well soiled and the guides show some wear yet the varnish and reel seat are in as new condition
