Creek Fly Fishing Reels

Rooted in Tradition . . . Machined for Tomorrow

Abel Creek™ model reels are rooted in the grand tradition of angling in the world's spring creeks. From the chalk streams of Great Britain to the storied waters of Pennsylvania, Montana, California and Canada, Abel Creeks are the definitive answer to tiny flies, featherweight rods, and wary fish.

The Abel Creek™ models #1 and #2 are machine ported (ventilated) for the lightness required to balance with a smaller rod. Whether you choose to mount an Abel Creek on a cane or graphite rod, it will look and behave magnificently.

These are large diameter, narrow spool reels. Line is in larger coils, thus reducing kinking while, at the same time, retrieving substantially more line with each turn of the reel handle.

Abel Creeks are machined from a single block of prime aircraft-quality aluminum, then anodized to perfection in either Black CoralTM or our matte black Guide's FinishTM. Reels are fitted with a custom rosewood handle and cap plug. And when you open an Abel Creek, you'll see its heart and soul . . . a click/pawl drag system with two fully-enclosed internally adjusted hex nuts - a system that allows for virtually unlimited choices for both incoming and outgoing drag and line over-run.
