Heck of a rod

This rod also comes with one of Sam's business cards wrapped around the tube as well as a letter of authentication from Dana Gray -- Sam's protege who still makes rods under the Carlson name -- who has estimated the manufacture date of this rod to be 1970

Bogdan 400 Fly Reel LHW 11' These 300 models are rareWow! A mint Bogdan 400 fly reel, the largest model in Stan's catalog. This reel is incredibly rare, especially in LHW, and has never seen a line put on it. It's in the exact mint condition in which it left the Bogdan shop. The 400 model was designed for use with large two handed rods on big rivers going after big fish (Norway, the Restigouche, etc.).
