Abel SDF Reel (Sealed Drag Fresh)
Description
Description
Freshwater Innovation
The Abel SDF Fly Reel (Sealed Drag Fresh) builds on the award-winning SDS saltwater series. Moreover, it brings the same legendary design principles into a refined freshwater package. As a result, anglers benefit from a reel with enormous drag strength, exceptional adjustability, and virtually zero start-up inertia.
Refined Drag System
The SDF features a stainless steel and carbon fluoropolymer drag system. Consequently, it delivers an adjustment range almost three times greater than its predecessor. In addition, the wide drag range ensures anglers can fine-tune resistance from delicate presentations to maximum stopping power. Therefore, it provides unmatched control on trout streams and lakes alike.
Abel Craftsmanship
Abel took the proven DNA of the SDS design and applied it to freshwater. Furthermore, they combined unmistakable Abel fit and finish with precision machining in Colorado. Ultimately, the result is the finest freshwater reel Abel has ever created — one that blends reliability, beauty, and performance seamlessly.
