ABEL SUPER 12W
A super wide large arbor reel aimed at the unique needs of Spey rod fly-fishers will be available in early spring, announced Abel Quality Products.
The new Abel Super 12W has a diameter of 4.450- and a spool width of 1.375-inches. The reel weighs 10.7 ounces.
Abel’s newest reel will be precision machined from cold rolled 6061-T aircraft quality aluminum and anodized against saltwater corrosion using Abel’s proprietary metallurgical process. The reels will be available in standard high gloss Black Coral or non-reflective matte black finishes. Fish graphic and artistic graphic anodized finishes are available at additional charges.
The Super 12W was designed with a fully caged frame for increased durability and to eliminate the possibility of an ultra thin running line finding its way between the frame and spool.
Capacities:
Standard 12-weight line and 400 yards of 30-pound backing;
Standard 13-weight line and 350 yards of 30-pound backing;
9/10 Spey line and 250 yards of 30-pound backing; and
10/11 Spey line and 225 yards of 30-pound backing.
The reel is priced at $850; extra spools are $390. |
