One outdoor writer called the Abel Creek . . . the classic trout reel for the 21st Century and probably the definitive spring creek reel. Perfect for Paradise Valley spring creeks -and you may have thought the days of a simple fly reel were over- nope!
Modern, extremely light weight Large Arbor trout reels with an adjustable click drag. The narrow frame coupled with a Large Arbor spool means fast line pick-up. For more versatility, interchange a Large Arbor spool with a Standard Arbor spool. Available individually or as a set.
All machined parts are made in our factory by Abel – They do not use outside vendors, which ensures 100% quality control. Their anodizing department methodically finishes each reel utilizing a proprietary corrosion-resistant metallurgical process unique to the industry.
Internally adjustable pawl click drag made from 303 heat treated stainless steel is locked in place by two small hex cam nuts and a spring retainer.
- To adjust the incoming or outgoing tension, simply rotate the fully enclosed hex nuts with your fingertip.
- Narrow frame equals fast line pick-up.
- FlexABELity: Interchange both large arbor and standard arbor spools.
