Abel TR in Custom Chrome Steelhead
|
There are only a hand full of
fly fishing reels current to today that we would label with such words as "iconic" or "legend". To even be considered in this category they first must already be around for some period of time. They also must process some traditional qualities as well as some modern technical advances. The Abel TR can easily qualify for these labels.
With semi ported frame the TR weight can be kept to a minimum while maintaining some solid body strength and aesthetics. With
Click & Pawl check system they maintain a simplistic drag function all the while producing adrenaline pumping sound with a big fish tug. Palming rim provides the ability to apply greater pressure for a big trout. Twenty one aluminum or stainless steel machined parts ensures there is little to fail.
Meanwhile modern features include large arbor spools for better line retrieval and management. Quick change spool with dependable threaded release cap enables quick spool changes to meet you trout fly fishing line needs such as switching to an intermediate tip or sinking tip
fly lines.
In addition to these great features Abel TR reels are designed and hand crafted by some of the worlds most tecky trout junkies right here in Montrose Colorado, USA.
And while it would seem that these features alone could not be topped, let's not forget the available custom colors, graphics and engravings enabling any fly angler to pick and choose the look they desire.
Gorge Fly Shop recognizes all of these achievements and in so we pre-order for our in stock custom fly reels many custom colors to have available to our customers. In this post you will find many photos of the various Abel TR Fly Reels we have or have sold.
