    Description

    Murray Stewart model 400, in LHW, traditional black w/silver rims including deluxe clamshell case.
    Without question, Murray Stewart remains unchallenged in surpassing the quality of SE Bogdan with his own design that greatly improved upon the original idea of a drum drag fly reel. 100% bench-made in Glasgow, Scotland, UK and all materials sourced within the region. The waiting list for a reel for any Stewart reel is estimated delivery at 1.5-2-years at present. Perfection known the world over as the finest made today. Much more rare than Bogdan's 400 and better made by a craftsman more skilled than the Bogdan's. True bench-made, highly functional work of art absolutely guaranteed to increase in price over time and approximately half the price price of the same size Bogdan at USk+ in LHW. That is, if you could find one and even then, would you really really want to fish it?

    This reel is in the US right now and priced to sell. Considering shipping and duties into countries one could rightfully consider it too costly. However, this is considered art and much more than just a fly fishing tool. It is a "forever reel" and the finest in its class out of all fly fishing reels made today. It also has the greatest likelihood to exceed the value of any Bogdan reel in its best days as long as it is not damaged. Murray makes each one by hand plus keeps his longtime job too. His reels are considered by collectors internationally as the finest of its type made in the world today. Return if not delighted.
    ** Only mint Stewart model 400 in LHW in the US at this time and last one for sale from my collection. The other 2 model sold quickly at almost at full asking price. This won't last long and have had already one inquiry with (low) offer from Norway before this listing on it.
