Super Series Fly Fishing Reels |
 |
 |
The Super Series Sizzles for lots of rational reasons! On a Large Arbor
reel, the line is in larger coils, thus preventing some kinking and
twisting; and retrieve (pick-up) is faster since you gain more line
with every turn of the handle. Abel Large Arbor or Super Series Reels
have spools that are 100% interchangeable with spools of comparable-size
standard Abel Big Game Reels.
While there are other Large Arbor reels on the market, none have the
ability to interchange spools and frame and no other has the Abel drag
system that gives you the ability to Stop-a-Sub.
All Super Series reels are ported using a "rounded oblong" design that
maintains total strength and rigidity in the metal while, at the same
time, looking like a Stealth Bomber, Rolex or Ferrari. They are lighter,
with parts trimmed to the bone, yet retaining all of our traditional
strength and integrity.
New for 2007
The Super 5 Narrow – S-5N – is the newest addition to the Abel reel arsenal. A dedicated 5/6-weight reel, it is the definitive weapon for trout with big shoulders and a snotty attitude. If you're after trout, half-pound steelhead, little jack salmon, small Gulf Coast reds, specks or any other fish on a 5- or 6-weight, this little baby is the reel for you. You get the double advantage of both a Large Arbor and a Narrow Spool for quick line pick-up. Abel worked on this reel more than a year to get the correct ratio of large arbor and narrow spool. Beautiful to look at, delightful to hold and a real bear with a running fish.
All Super Series reels size 6 and larger and all Big Game reels size 3N and larger will be fitted with Abel's new Double Pawl system. Two pawls instead of one are a bit more reliable when big fish are headed for the horizon; but the best thing is the really neat sound they make. Instead of click click click, double pawl reels hum a merry tune of clickclickclickclick. Wheeee!
