An exquisite Stan Bogdan Model 50 light salmon reel, set up for LHW. 3 1/2" in diameter with a 1 5/32" spool width. Weighs 9.1 ounces. This reel has never seen a line on it and is completely mint. Silver anodized spool, frame, serpentine handle and counterbalance, oil cap, poacher's knob, nameplate, and foot. "50" stamped on the foot. Side plates and drag selector knob are black anodized. The handle sideplate and spool on the handle side are both ventilated. It has been a privilege for me to handle a number of Bogdan reels and I find that they are similar to bamboo rods in that they all have a personality. This is one that I just really admired, a great individual example of a model that beautifully combines classic looks, smooth operation, and incredibly tight tolerances. The reel comes in the original Bogdan suede bag.
