2008 marks the 13th year Abel has made Large Arbor reels. During those years we have developed the perfect ratio of arbor (hub) size to the overall spool. Too big a hub and there ’s not enough backing capacity; too small and you ’ve defeated the purpose of a large arbor spool.

Super Series reels sizes 6 and larger are built with a Double Pawl System. There are a number of advantages to the Abel double pawl – increased reliability and back-uup strength to name two. The Double Pawl System changed our sound . . . going from click click click click to something more like clickclickclickclick. Think of a fine Swiss watch.

All Super Series reels are ported (ventilated) using a design that maintains total strength and rigidity in the metal.

InterchangeABELity sets may be purchased at significant savings compared to the same reel and spool purchased separately.
