Abel didn’t invent the large arbor fly reel, however their Super Series actually has achieved the embodiment of this notion; a perfect balance concerning hub dimension plus spool capacity. No surprise these Abel fly reels took the fly fishing industry by storm! The reason why large arbor? Faster line pick up, better drag continuity and less line coil than standard arbor reels. The Abel Super Series fly reels include a super sized cork drag disk that experts claim insures steady smoothness with an extra low start up inertia along with the stopping capacity to whip fish rapidly. Both frame and spool are extremely strong and tough, still light in weight due to their beautifully machined oblong porting.
The guts of all Abel fly fishing reels are their distinctive "Stop-a-Sub" drag system. Most fish are sacrificed at either the strike and the net. Abel's drag system provides basically no stutter or hesitation; therefore more fish tend to be hooked and landed. It's as smooth as silk for a superb reason... to increase your odds of landing that fish of your life.
Abel Large Arbor Super Series Reels possess spools which are 100% exchangeable with spools of comparable-size standard Abel Big Game Reels. Example of this: with a Big Game #3 and Super 8 frame spare spool, you have crafted two clearly different fly fishing reels with various capabilities and capacities. The Abel Super 8 holds an 8-weight line with 200 yards of 20# backing, the perfect tool for school stripers, Bonefish and Red fish; and the interchangeable #3 spool will hold a 12-weight line plus 250 yards of 30# backing for Sailfish and tarpon among others large species.
