THE PROSEK SIGNATURE EDITION ATLANTIC SALMON SUPER 9 (Fourth in the series) 

This limited edition of 100 Super 9 fly reels is in a design inspired by artist and conservationist James Prosek.  It will benefit the Atlantic Salmon Federation.  Reels will be accompanied by a signed and numbered 11x14-inch gicleè print of an Atlantic salmon by Prosek.  The print number will correspond to the reel number.  The Atlantic salmon reel is the fourth in a series of Prosek-inspired works.  All prior reels were quickly sold out.  This series of Abel/Prosek reels has become the most collectable fishing tackle in recent memory.

Abel is donating reel #1 and gicleè print #1 to the Atlantic Salmon Federation for sale at auction.  A gicleè print is an individually produced high resolution reproduction.  A gicleè is superior to traditional lithography in that colors are brighter; they last longer, and are virtually a continuous tone rather than tiny dots. 

The Abel Super 9 large arbor spool reel has a line capacity of a 9-weight line and 225 yards of 20-pound backing; or a 10-weight line and 175 yards of 30-pound Micron.  Capacities are determined with weight-forward fly lines.

Prosek, who has authored and/or illustrated Trout an Illustrated History, Trout of the World, Joe and Me, Fly-Fishing the 41st Parallel, Early Love and Brook Trout and a children's book, A Good Day's Fishing, has been called the James Audubon of fish.

The collector's edition Atlantic salmon reel is priced at $1,200.
