Bogdan Trout Reel 4 Weight with the typical S-style handleAn excellent Bogdan trout reel in left hand wind. The gold standard of handcrafted reels! Somewhere Stan is still stooped over an ancient Flather lathe just not on our plane of existence! Excellent original condition, small amount of edgewear and scuffing. Purchased directly from Stan by consignor. Comes with original brown drawstring leather bag.
