DESCRIPTION
The original Bougle was last produced in 1939, and many collectors believe the reel reached both its functional and aesthetic apex, even though few reels were produced that year. Now, the 1939 Bougle Heritage Reel Series pays homage to those rare originals. These reels feature the time tested Mark II check mechanism and are finished with a dark gun metal anodization, reminiscent of the original.
Features
- Classic 1939 style Bougle

Match capacity to your line and backing: If you fish longer runs, bigger water, or faster fish, prioritize backing room and clean spool management.
Consider retrieve and line pickup:
Larger spools help pick up slack faster and keep memory down.
Think about how you fish:
Trout and light streamer work can favor lighter reels, while spey and anadromous fishing often benefits from extra capacity and a drag you can set and forget.
