Bogdan Steelhead Reel - LHW 8'9" as it softened while sittingA superb Bogdan steelhead reel, set up for LHW. This is the standard steelhead size, with a 3 1 4" diameter and 1 5 32" spool width. Weighs 5. 6 ounces on my scale. Mint, unused condition. Silver frame, foot, oil port cover, and crank handle with black sideplates. The sideplate on the crank side is ventilated along with the spool on that side as well. Fixed click and pawl drag. These desirable models were made at the urging of west coast anglers who
