This Abel SDF 5/6 fly reel features Abel's custom shop satin slate finish and native brown trout drag knob. This in stock Abel custom shop fly reel adds an awesome and unique visual element to a super high performance fly reel. Machined platinum handle.
The Abel SDF Fly Reel, SDF stands for Sealed Drag Fresh, is a scaled down version of the award-winning Abel SDS (Sealed Drag Salt) fly reel. The Abel SDF has porting similar to the Abel SDS and features a stainless steel/carbon Fluoropolymer drag system. This reel has a crazy amount of drag with an adjustment range that is 3 times greater than its previous model. One of the keys to protecting light leaders and not losing fish is its almost zero start up inertia.
Featuring the amazing Abel finish the Abel SDF may be the best freshwater fly reel on the water.
