Bogdan Steelhead Reel

Bogdan Steelhead ReelA nice Bogdan steelhead reel, set up for RHW. This is the standard steelhead size, with a 3 1 4" diameter and 1 5 32" spool width. Weighs 5. 5 ounces on my scale. Good used condition with some moderate rim rash to the frame edges and a few small scratches to one sideplate. The other and the rest of the reel is in great shape. Black anodized frame, sideplates, and spool. Silver foot, oil port cover, crank handle, and Bogdan nameplate. The sideplate on

Still a very scarce size Farlow's reel

The Super-Z brand ferrules have 14/64 and 21/64 with a perfect fit

The reel is setup for LHW but I believe it can be reversed

The ferrules fit together nicely and the rod is nice and straight

In many configurations

The rod is based on the Dickerson 761510 and Daryll Whitehead pulled out all of the stops when putting this together

short half wells grip

and of equal length

The node pattern/spacing on this early rod is not easily identified

Very good condition overall with signs of use including some minor chips and scratches in the varnish on the butt section

Black edges at the keeper

DJ is worn
