ABEL FLY REELS

Abel fly reels at the Platte River Fly Shop. For years now, Abel fly reels have been front runners and pioneers of machined fly reels. Able fly reels may cost a little more, but you will have a reel that will not only last a lifetime, but will be passed from one generation to the next. We offer free fly line and backing as well as free shipping on all Abel Reels.

Abel's Fly Fishing Reel Mission Statement To design and build the best, most dependable fly fishing reels and gear in the world and give world class customer service.

Abel Anti/Reverse Reels Abel's Anti/Reverse Reel? The handle doesn't turn when line goes out . . . thus no lost fish when a whirling handle meets your knuckles. Abel A/Rs are lightweight, utilize a unique ball bearing design, and have fewer moving parts than our competitors. Each A/R reel comes with its own finger wrench for removing the spool. Line and backing capacities are the same as Big Game models in the same size. All reels are machined from solid blocks of 6061-T prime grade aircraft quality aluminum. Steve Abel's precision machinists maintain exacting tolerances, ensuring anglers a reel that performs flawlessly. Reels are meticulously anodized and hand-finished for a lifetime of corrosion resistance.

Abel Big Game Series Fly Reels Call them "traditional," call them "workhorses" or "war horses," they are a 17-year old design that's as fresh as today's newspaper. They were innovative when Abel introduced them in 1987 and even better today. All standard Big Games come with a solid frame. Ported frames are available at a modest additional charge. All reels are machined from solid blocks of 6061-T prime grade aircraft quality aluminum. Abel's precision machinists maintain exacting tolerances, ensuring anglers a reel that performs flawlessly. Reels are meticulously anodized and hand-finished for a lifetime of corrosion resistance.

Abel Large Arbor Creek Fkt Reels Whatever rod you choose to hang an Abel Creek ­ a new Abel or that antique cane ­ these will look right at home.

The narrow frame coupled with large arbor spool means fast line pick-up, fast retrieve and a classic, elegant look. Available individually or as a set. Matched sets of Large Arbor Abel Creek reels are available alone or custom-fitted to new Abel rods. The perfect business or thank you gift.

Abel Large Arbor Super Series Fly Reels For 2004, Steve Abel is introducing four new models ­ the Super 9 and Super 13; Super 8 and Super 12 Anti/Reverse. Bonefish one day, tarpon the next? No problem ­ it's called InterchangeABELity! Each kit includes a Large Arbor Super Series reel, plus a Big Game spool of corresponding size. This doubles the capabilities of your reel ­ and costs less than it would to buy the reel and spool separately. Example: With a Super 8 frame and Big Game #3 spare spool you will create two distinctly different reels with different capacities and capabilities. The Super 8 holds an 8-weight line with 200 yards of 20# backing, the perfect weapon for bonefish, school stripers and reds; while the interchangeable #3 spool will hold a 12-weight line plus 250 yards of 30# backing for tarpon, marlin and sailfish. Nothing else can compare. No other reels have the ability to interchange spools and frames. All Super Series reels are ported (ventilated) using a "rounded oblong" design that maintains total strength and rigidity of the metal. They're light, yet retain all of Abel's traditional strength and integrity. InterchangeABELity sets may be purchased at significant savings compared to the same reel and spool purchased separately. All reels are machined from solid blocks of 6061-T prime grade aircraft quality aluminum. Abel's precision machinists maintain exacting tolerances, ensuring anglers a reel that performs flawlessly. Reels are meticulously anodized and hand-finished for a lifetime of corrosion resistance. The guts of Abel Reels are engineered with a unique Stop-a-Sub drag system. Most fish are lost at either the strike or the net. The drag system has virtually no hesitation or stutter; so more fish are hooked and landed. It's as smooth as silk for a very good reason . . . to improve your chances of landing the fish of a lifetime.
