SUPER SERIES QUICK CHANGE (QC)
|
|
New for 2009, Large Arbor, cork drag system with quick change spool. 3 Sizes.
Years of testing and engineering have produced the Super Series Quick Change (QC) reel. Simply back off the drag knob, push in and rotate the center cap for quickest spool release in the industry.
The first of three sizes of the QC - for 7/8 lines - will be out this spring, while the 9/10 and 11/12's are due in October.
- Super Series QC models utilize 6061-T651 cold finished aerospace grade aluminum for the spool and frame.
- Hi-Grade C64299 Silicon Aluminum Bronze drive system.
- Buna sealed micro-bearings are ISO 9001:200 and AS9100 certified FAA TSO C149 aircraft bearings.
- Cork Drag System is made entirely in our factory. We use a superior high grade cork with a little neats-foot oil on it.
- Double Pawl System; Advantages over single pawl system include: increased reliability, back-up strength and unique sound.
- Quick change spool.
- Made in the USA.

* We're not saying goodbye to our 21 year old series of Big Game reels. We're simply renaming them Super Series standard arbor reels.
|
|
|
|
Super 3N Model ~~ 3- 4- and 5-weight lines. At just 4.4 ounces, this is the reel for big fish in Spring Creek situations. The ideal companion on your next trip for dry fly work on your favorite river. Think very light lines and big fish or when light lines and a Stop-a-Sub drag are required - New Zealand, Montana's Hebgen Lake and Lassen National Park's Manzanita Lake, for example. |
|
|
|
Super 4 Model ~~ 4- and 5-weight lines. This is the quintessential high-speed Large Arbor reel. At just 5.5 ounces, you can hang one on a classic cane or modern graphite rod whether fishing a Pennsylvania spring creek or some unnamed Patagonia waterway. |
|
|
|
Super 5N Model ~~ 5- and 6-weight lines. No spool interchange. A narrow version of the reel above for faster line retrieve. Only 5.7 ounces, it balances beautifully with your favorite trout rod. |
|
|
|
Super 6 Model ~~ 6- and 7-weight lines. At 6.9 ounces, this and the Super 8 are the workhorses of the series. It's for Long Island Sound stripers, large trout, bonefish, or half-pound steelhead; and windy conditions when you need the punch of 6- or 7-weight. Dual Pawl Design |
|
|
|
Super 7 Model ~~ 6-, 7-, and 8- weight lines. At 7.5 ounces this reel is for light saltwater, steelhead, salmon or big trout when you need the mid-weight lines and lots of backing. Dual Pawl Design |
|
|
|
Super 8 Model ~~ 8- and 9-weight lines. We believe this to be the fastest selling, most popular and most-used bonefish reel in history. It's also the clearly defined weapon of choice for stripers, blues, redfish, seatrout, bonito, salmon, inconnu and dream steelhead. Just 8.1 ounces. Dual Pawl Design |
|
|
|
Super 9 Model ~~ 9- and 10 weight lines. The Super 9 provides maximum versatility from one reel. A mere 8.4 ounces. Dual Pawl Design. |
|
|
|
Super 10 Model ~~ 10- and 11-weight lines. For tarpon, albacore, false albacore, skipjack, giant trevally, jacks, roosterfish, Pacific yellowtail, stripers and more. Only 8.7 ounces. Dual Pawl Design |
|
|
|
Super 11 Model ~~ 10-, II- and 12-weight lines. Try one on skipjack tuna, dorado (mahi-mahi), yellowtail, yellowfin tuna and those giant trevally, tarpon. 8.9 ounces. Dual Pawl Design |
|
|
|
Super 12W Model ~~ 12- and 13-weight lines and 400 or 350 yards of 30# backing. At 10.7 ounces, this is the baby for billfish, Mako shark, tarpon, yellowfin tuna and all other big. fast and angry fish. Dual Pawl Design |
|
|
|
Super 12X (extreme) Model ~~ 11- and 12-weight lines and 350 or 300 yards of 50# Spectra backing. The lightest reel in its class at 9.7 ounces, this is the lightweight puppy for tarpon in the Keys, Belize, Yucatan, the Gulf coast or wherever they roam. Dual Pawl Design |
|
|
|
Super 13 Model ~~ 13- and 14- weight lines and 600 or 550 yards of 50# Spectra. Weight at 13.9 ounces and a larger 3" hub diameter for faster retrieve with Spectra backing. Dual Pawl Design |
|
|
|
Super 14 Model ~~ 13- and 14- weight lines and 550 or 500 yards of 30# Dacron backing. Smaller 2" hub diameter to accommodate Dacron backing Dual Pawl Design |
ANTI / REVERSE SERIES
What's an Anti/Reverse Reel? Simply put: on A/R models, the handle doesn't turn when line goes out. . . thus no more lost fish when a whirling handle meets your Irish fisherman's sweater. Abel A/Rs are lightweight, utilize a unique ball bearing design, and have fewer moving parts. Each A/R reel comes with its own finger wrench for removing the spool.
|
- 2009 marks the 15th year Abel had made Anti-Reverse Reels.
- Reel frame, spool, drag knob and foot are 6061-T651 cold finished aerospace grade aluminum.
- Teflon sealed bearings are ISO9001:2000 and AS9100 Certified FAA TSO C149 Aircraft Bearings.
- Cork Drag System is made entirely in our factory. We use a superior high grade Portuguese cork with a little neat's-foot oil on it.
- Double Pawl System: All Anti-Reverse reels are built with our recently upgraded double pawl system. Advantages include: increased reliability, back-up strength and unique sound.
- Industry's only sealed ball bearing design.
- Lighter, more dependable and fewest moving parts of any Anti-Reverse reel on the market.
- Each Anti-Reverse reel comes with its own finger wrench for removing the spool.
- FlexABELity: Interchange both large arbor and standard arbor spools.
- Made in the USA.
FlexABELity
FlexABELity = System designed to interchange both Large and Standard Arbor spools into the indentical frame. Every frame in the Super Series, Anti-Reverse Series and Abel Creek Series now accepts both Large and Standard Arbor spools.
FlexABELity sets may be purchased at significant savings compared to the same reel and spool purchased separately.

The Abel Drag
Nylon and other plastics, which some manufacturers continue to use, can't be compressed. The drag plate deflects (bends) providing the pressure. Pure cork compresses up to 50%. You've seen a Champagne cork -when it comes out of the bottle… and still pops back to its original form. Pure cork has that compression that is magically inherent in its own material.
Abel uses a superior high-grade cork and puts a little pure neatsfoot oil on it. They don't abide gimmicks like "automatic drag wear compensating" devices because their drags do not wear. And they have 15-year old reels to prove it. |
 |
|
|
- 2009 marks the 11th year Abel has made Abel Creek Reels.
- Internally adjustable pawl click drag made from 303 heat treated stainless steel is locked in place by two small hex cam nuts and a spring retainer.
- To adjust the incoming or outgoing tension, simply rotate the fully enclosed hex nuts with your fingertip.
- Narrow frame equals fast line pick-up.
- FlexABELity: Interchange both large arbor and standard arbor spools.
