| Abel Anti/Reverse 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 anti/reverse the
handle does not turn when a fish runs. Each A/R reel comes with
its own finger wrench for removing the spool. Yes, fish caught on
an anti/reverse reel are eligible for IGFA World Records.
Large Arbor Super Series, Standard Big Game, and Anti/Reverse 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.
