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.
