Wildlife artist James Prosek and precision fishing tackle manufacturer Abel have combined their creativity for the ninth time to produce a fund raising fly reel, this one to benefit the Big Hole River Foundation's fight to preserve the area's native Arctic grayling.

A new for 2010 model Abel Super 4N large arbor reel - for 4- and 5-weight flylines - will be done in a hand painted and anodized Arctic grayling finish inspired by Prosek. Abel will produce a limited edition of 100 signed and numbered reels to be accompanied by an Arctic grayling giclee print with corresponding number. Reels and giclee prints numbers 1 and 2 are being donated by Abel to the Big Hole River Foundation for the organization's conservation fund raising.

The foundation's objectives include Conservation and Research; Education and Outreach; and Management and Administration.

The Abel Super 4N large arbor reel has a spool diameter of 3.300 inches with a 0.675 inch spool width. The reel weighs 4.6 ounces.

The Big Hole River in southwest Montana is one of the only free-flowing rivers remaining in the west. The waterway is more than 150 miles in length and drains some 2,500 square miles.

The American-made Super 4N is machined from cold finished 6061-T aircraft quality aluminum and then anodized utilizing Abel's proprietary procedure.
