Bogdan Model 400 Fly Reel - LHW

Bogdan Model 400 Fly Reel - LHWFor sale here is a very scarce Model 400 Bogdan reel. The reel is left hand retrieve and in near mint condition, with only a very small mark on the reel foot and some barely discernable rub marks in the anodized sideplate beneath where the drag lever rotates.
