Bogdan Model 50 Reel 8'6" 40 with the wet tipAn excellent Bogdan model 50 salmon reel, the excellent "light salmon" version. Near mint condition, I'd say about 99. 9% mint. It may have had a line on it once but I can see no real signs of wear. 3 1 2" Diameter with a 1 5 32" spool width. RHW. Weighs in at a tidy 8. 9 oz, helped by a ventilated crankplate and the crank side of the spool. Single action, 1: 1 retrieve. Silver frame, spool, crank handle, nameplate, and oil cover (no poacher button).
