There is a hidden pocket cap under the heel of the grip

enough to fend off a charging Grizzly bear

custom leather rod tube

one of the very few signs of use I could find on this rod

culminating in the 1950 and 1960's with lots of victories vs Hardys in the Int'l Tournament

Bogdan Model #2 Salmon Reel Gary Howells There is a hidden pocketA nice Bogdan Model 2 salmon reel, 3 3 4" diameter and set up for RHW. It weighs 13. 5 ounces on my scale. Good used condition with some rim rash on the frame edge, some wear to the drag adjuster knob, and a few scratches and scuffs to the sideplates. Light champagne anodized frame and spool with black anodized sideplates. The crank handle is silver anodized as are the foot, poacher's knob, Bogdan nameplate, oil port cover, and the drag adjuster
