	Abel Reels without built-in obsolescence! The biggest thing that separates Abel Reels from the rest of the herd is no built-in obsolescence. Abel Reels were proven before they went to market and in all these years very few improvements have been necessary. If you bought an Abel in 1887, it is still totally reliable today. That is because instead of adding glitzy du-das to the mechanism, Steve Abel concentrated on simplicity and craftsmanship. The fewer parts involved, the fewer parts to break down. Abel Reels are are hell for stout.
	Steve Abel is serious about fly fishing as a sport of conquest and enlightenment. He's also seriously serious about the reels that bear his company's name. As company founder, it's his responsibility to make sure his reels are up to the test of the world's hottest, strongest game fish …serious business!
We're serious about Abel Reels too. In the end, nothing beats fine craftsmanship.

New for 2008! Abel 6061 aluminum reel handles are 1/8th inch longer than the standard wooden handles. They feature knurled finger grip and are fitted with a hand-pressed DelrinÆ insert for the absolutely smoothest feel this side of vanilla ice cream. Their weight precisely matches the weight of the counterbalance. They won’t chip, fracture, splinter or snap no matter the temperature or conditions. They are, in a word, forever. In Small, Medium and Large sizes for various sizes of Abel Reels. Available in any solid color finish. $25 on a new reel. More information on Abel Aluminum Handles.

A significant change at Abel in 2007 was a new "Double Pawl" system in the internal mechanism of Super Series reels #6 and larger reels and Big Game Series reels #3 and larger. We never knew any of the old single pawl reels to break down. So this insignificant change becomes very significant in the way that the folks at Abel think, "Eliminate problems before they happen!" We have tested a couple of their larger reels that were built with double pawls a couple of years ago. You're going to like the sound they make.
