Bogdan model № 50 SA Light Salmon Reel
Single Action Right Hand Wind. In mint condition.
£2,200.00
This is a superb example of S. E. Bogdan’s famous model 50 light salmon reel. When one looks for a classic reel for light salmon, steel head and sea trout, two makes come to mind -Hardy and Bogdan. The late Stan Bogdan’s reels are very much the connoisseur’s choice on both sides of the Atlantic.
The reel has a 3½” diameter and a one and 5/32″ wide spool. The perforated spool and back plate are anodised black (the specks you can see are lint from the suede pouch) the frame is champagne silver anodised and spool is silver. the foot, stamped No 50, is natural aluminium.
The drag tension is controlled via the lever on the back plate .
The reel weighs 9 oz. Capacity is a WF#9 line + 100 yards of backing.
This is a very sophisticated right hand wind direct drive reel.
It has its suede pouch.
Bogdan reels are increasingly sought after (Stan Bogdan died in 2009).
