Bogdan Model 400 Fly Reel - LHW 9'3" The Traveler model rod wasFor 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. These model 400s are extremely hard to find and especially in this condition. The reel comes with a replacement Bogdan like suede case with one side inscribed with the Orvis logo. Model 400 specs
