New From Abel Reels
Abel Spey Reel
To meet the demands of steelhead, salmon and other big water anglers
using Spey techniques, Abel came up with the definitive tool:
the Abel Spey Reel. It has been engineered, machined and anodized
meticulously as you would expect, but also created with a specific
design and capacity aimed at long-rod anglers.
Featuring a fully enclosed frame and Abel’s time-tested adjustable
pawl-click drag, the reel is styled in an “old school” fashion, reminiscent
of classic European spey reels, but with a craftsmanship only
possible in a made-in-the-USA version.
But more than just being a “good looker,” it’s the perfect instrument
for Pacific Northwest steelheading or classic Atlantic salmon, with a
drag capable of putting a big hurt on these hard-running fish.
magical balance between the right rod and reel combination, with
the correct line to suit the rod, but also the conditions. The correct
weight and length of leader with the perfect fly presented at the
right time, at the right depth and retrieved in the correct manner.
All these elements combine to result in the ultimate...a take, but
even there the job is not done... Getting the fish on is just part of it,
now you have to keep it one and land it. It’s here where your rod and
reel start to come into their own. It’s here where your choices a few
months before start to count...
I’ll say it again...reel choice...is a HUGE deal!
Abel Switch Reel
The baby-brother to their Spey reel is the new Abel Switch reel,
designed to be the best all-around tool for those switch-casters
looking for the perfect reel for the job.
Sized to fit the lighter spey and Skagit lines preferred on these
versatile rods, the new Switch reel offers the right size, capacity, and
super-strong drag Abel is renowned for.
The pawl-click drag is full adjustable, surrounded by proven Abel
corrosion-resistant anodized enclosed frame along with that sleek
Abel made-in-the-USA feel.
