Description
Winner of the best new saltwater reel at the 2016 ICAST/IFTD show, the Abel SDS (Sealed Drag Salt) takes all the power, reliability, and smoothness of its smaller counterpart and combines them in a larger package capable of taking on saltwater gamefish of all sizes. A unique multi-disc drag system yields an industry leading 20+ pounds of braking power, and is completely sealed from the elements. Now available in 3 sizes, this makes the SDS perfect for fighting big bones on light tippet as well as providing the power needed to halt hard-fighting tarpon in their tracks.
- Reel frame, spool, drag knob and foot made of 6061-T651 cold finished aerospace grade aluminum
- Alternating stacked carbon composite and stainless steel disc drag system
- Quick change spool
- User convertible retrieval direction
- Made in USA
LINE SPOOLING:
Please add the fly line that you would like to purchase into your cart, and write a note in your order to specify if you’d like the reel spooled with that fly line. Select the type of backing you would like, and we’ll spool the reel for you with a proper bimini twist + loop connection to your fly line, or a nail knot if the line does not have an integrated welded loop.
If you would like backing only, please select the type of backing that you’d like. Write a note in your order with what line you plan to put on the reel, so that we can estimate the proper backing level.
For any special purpose spooling, please call us at 631-594-3336 or write a note in your order and we will contact you.
