Bogdan Baby Wide Trout Reel

Bogdan Baby Wide Trout ReelA great little Bogdan Baby Wide Trout Reel, set up for LHW. Weighs 4. 2 oz. 2 3 4" diameter with a 31 32" spool width. Mint condition with no signs of having been mounted on a rod. All black frame and spool with silver foot, crank handle, oil cap, and Bogdan nameplate. Very smooth fixed drag with a slightly louder click than I usually find on these models. Comes packed in an original tan leather bag. A superb example of a Bogdan Baby Wide.
