This reel
is just awesome. For anyone who loves fine equipment I
only can say just have a look and feel how wonderful it is
to hold it in your hand. The ABEL super is a great reel
for saltwater and if you can afford it, you never would
regret it. It's a solid, durable reel that you let you
interchange spools with the Abel big game spools, which
makes it a very versatile reel and reduce costs quite a
bit too. The reel matches perfectly to my Spey rods but so
far I mainly use it for my single-handed rods. As with all
the Abel reels, it looks a bit difficult at first to
change spools because there is a nut to hold the drag knob
in place, but after many months in use it actually proves
to be a great system. I don’t change spools often so for
me there is actually no problem at all. The nut is just
added to secure the drag knob and pin for not falling out
of the reel. When used to it, you will see that it is
actually very easy to change spools. The Abel super is my
first choice for steelhead, salmon, large lake trout and
catching pacific salmon in saltwater. The drag is very
smooth at all ranges and never sticks or fails at all
conditions, wet or dry. Even the Abel Super 5 can handle
extremely large lake trout (up to 40LBS) with ease and
surely is one of the finest reels I have ever used. All
the reels seems to have a large overkill for trout. The
large arbor and wooden handle is a great feature that
helps to pick up line off the water quickly.
The 8
sizes of Large Arbor, fast retrieve reels within the Super
Series are to standard fly reels as your old Chevy is to a
new Corvette. Reels are ported or ventilated using a
"rounded oblong" design that maintains total strength and
rigidity in the metal while, at the same time, looking
like a Stealth bomber, Rolex watch or Ferrari sports car.
They are the lightest available. The weight reduction was
accomplished by intense machining, with parts literally
trimmed to the bone, yet retaining all of our traditional
strength and integrity.
