 Why purchase an Abel reel? Because in a nutshell Abel manufacture the best fly-reels on the market, and since 1988 have set the standard by which all other fly-reels are judged. Abel reels are like a Ferrari and a Mack Truck all rolled into one – they are a thing of beauty and are indestructible. All of the staff members here at Frontier Fly Fishing use Abel reels and for good reason – there is no better fly-reel on the market. Period!
