Description
Description
Multi Award-Winning Strength
The Abel SDS Fly Reel (Sealed Drag Salt) has earned multiple awards for its performance and reliability. Moreover, it combines the smoothness and precision of Abel’s freshwater models with the strength needed for saltwater. As a result, the SDS stands ready to take on any saltwater gamefish with unmatched confidence.
Sealed Drag Power
The SDS features a completely sealed, multi-disc drag system that produces over 20 pounds of braking power. Consequently, it delivers the stopping strength required for tarpon, giant trevally, or powerful bonefish. In addition, the drag remains smooth and reliable in the harshest saltwater environments, ensuring consistent performance during demanding fights.
Versatile Saltwater Design
Available in three sizes, Abel’s SDS reels adapt to different saltwater challenges. For example, they provide the finesse to handle bonefish on light tippets while offering the raw power to stop giant trevally in their tracks. Therefore, the SDS delivers versatility for anglers who demand one reel that can handle multiple species and destinations.
FEATURES
- Reel frame, spool, drag knob, and foot machined from 6061-T651 cold-finished aerospace aluminium
- Alternating stacked carbon composite and stainless steel disc drag system
- Quick-change spool design
- User-convertible retrieval direction
- Made in the USA
Ultimately, the Abel SDS Fly Reel delivers industry-leading drag strength in a durable, sealed design. Therefore, it is the ideal reel for saltwater anglers who demand maximum reliability, versatility, and stopping power.
