Abel Anti Reverse Reel

Abel AntiReverse Reels utilize a unique ball bearing design, have fewer moving parts and weigh about 25% less than our competitors reels. Now machined with the same oblong ventilation holes as Super Series and Big Game models, they weigh even LESS! Unlike a traditional single action fly reel, on an antireverse the handle does not turn when a fish runs. Each AR reel comes with its own finger wrench for removing the spool. Yes, fish caught on an antireverse reel are eligible for IGFA World Records. Large Arbor Super Series, Standard Big Game, and AntiReverse models feature our classic Stop a Sub drag system. Our drag system has virtually no hesitation or stutter . . . all to improve your chances of landing the fish of a lifetime. Some models may be custom fitted with two handles instead of a handle and counter balance weight. All machined parts are made in our factory by Abel They do not use outside vendors, which ensures 100% quality control. Their anodizing department methodically finishes each reel utilizing a proprietary corrosion resistant metallurgical process unique to the industry.
