Bogdan Model 100 Fly Reel

Bogdan Model 100 Fly ReelA nice Bogdan Model 100 salmon reel, set up for RHW. 3 1 2" diameter with a 1 5 32" spool width. It weighs 9. 8 ounces on my scale, a little over a full ounce lighter than typical for this model. This is due to the porting on the front plate and on one side of the spool. The porting on the frontplate is somewhat unusual for this model, more akin to the porting that Stan did on his trout models and I'm sure this was done at the customer's request to

flaking or cracks
