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.
