Inside Bogdan Fly Reels: Examining the Famous Bogdan Drag System

[@MyklEnigma]

Mr Bogdan's shop was in the same building as my dad's company...I was 15 at the time (1980)...Got to watch how he built these masterpieces 👌🤗

Think you for sharing this very interesting article. I am a retired tool maker of 47 years. Always wanted to make my own salmon reel but never had the time. Believe me when I say that I know what it takes to machine by hand holding plus or minus 0.002 inch. I have great respect for Mr Bogdan. He has taken a lot of knowledge to the grave with him and The world was a better place with Him. There aren't very many of us old machinist left. Eney way, think you! For a wonderful video. Best wishes from Ohio. WALTER

Thanks for the kind words Walter, and glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the craftsmanship that Stan brought to his reels will stand the test of time!

Awesome video! Thank you so much - I've subscribed to both your channel and your mail list. Any chance of a similar video for Saracione reels? I'd love to understand how the inside of a Mark V multiplier works.

Hello - many thanks! Yes, that’s a great suggestion. I’d like to do some one a variety of reels and Joe’s are great. That would be fun. Stay tuned! :)

Super well done. Great explanations. One day I’d like to find a well used large trout in a left hand retrieve. We’ll used because well, my Todd are well used 😄

@@matthewgrallert1603 thank you, I’m glad you liked it! Yes, matching a Bogdan to a fine bamboo rod is a great problem to have! :)

Mr. Bogdan switched the brakes pads in 1951 from Micarta to Delrin.

[@SpinozaRodCompany]

Correct!
