ABEL SD SEALED-DRAG FLY REELS – are engineered for peak performance and durability, incorporating a fully sealed, maintenance-free drag system. Designed in collaboration with renowned Oregon reel designer Joe Saracione, the drag mechanism features “stacked” multi-disc components made from high-grade machined aluminum and Rulon. The system is sealed with a specialized gasket that effectively prevents moisture intrusion. With exceptionally low startup inertia, these reels offer superior protection for fine tippets while delivering ample power to control fast-moving game fish. Constructed from bar stock aluminum and treated with a hard anodized finish, the reels are available in a standard Gloss-Black color. Custom colors and artistic finishes are offered for an additional charge. Proudly manufactured in the USA, these reels come with a lifetime warranty.
