Leland on Abel Super Series - Prosek Fly Reels
Since his book Trout: An Illustrated History
I’ve wanted an original James ProsekAbel has teamed with artist James Prosek to offer limited edition
custom finished fly fishing reels. No other manufacturer has matched
the artistic design of Abel Products, so it’s a natural teaming of Abel
and Prosek. Looking at these fly reels, you have to wonder; are they
art work you should be displaying on the wall? Or are they functional,
hard working fly reels? Well, they could be both, but they are first
and foremost every bit the hard working Abel fly reels you have come to
love. The time-tested design of the Abel Super Series has long been one
of our favorites and now, with the James Prosek limited edition fish
graphics, these fly reels have reached a new plateau combining
functional form and art. watercolor! With each new release
of a different size Abel Super Series Fly Reel I’ve wanted that fly
reel for each specific type of fly fishing. Now you and I can have
both, with the James Prosek Fish Graphic Abel Super Series Fly Reels.
Abel didn’t invent the large arbor fly
reel, but their Super Series certainly has achieved the embodiment of
that concept; a perfect balance between hub diameter and spoolcapacity. No wonder these reels have taken the fly fishing world by
storm! Why large arbor? Faster line pick up, less line coil, and better
drag continuity than standard arbor reels. The Abel Super Series fly
fishing reels feature a super sized cork drag disk that insures
incredible smoothness with ultra low start up inertia and the stopping
power to beat fish quickly. Both frame and spool are incredibly strong
and rigid, yet lightweight due to their beautifully machined oblong
porting.
Abel’s proprietary
hard anodizing finish bestows a
lifetime of corrosion protection. A new outgoing clicker lets you know
how fast line is coming off your spool. Three sealed waterproof
stainless steel ball bearings offer near frictinoless rotation. Super
Series Reels size 6 and larger now come with a double pawl system for
added reliability. And remember, with InterchangABELity, you can use
the same reel frame on several different weight fly rods. All Abel
reels are convertible from right to left hand wind. Standard color is
lustrous Black Coral. Limited lifetime warranty, should you ever need
it, right down to the laminated, machined, and sealed wooden handle.
The
Super Series has a model for every line
weight from 2 to 14, from farm
pond to the deep blue ocean. Find out why experts prefer the reels that
set more World Records than any other for 2006; Abel, the fly reel
you’ll hand down to your grandchildren.

Leland on Abel Products
Established in 1987, the Abel name is synonymous with qualityfly fishing products. Their fly fishing reels have set the industry
standard for excellence. Steve Abel, the Abel behind the company name,
was schooled as a machinist in the aerospace industry. Frustrated with
the fly reels available to the demanding saltwater angler, he set out
to create the "perfect fly reel;" and as Steve will gladly admit, he
became obsessed with this pursuit. The time and effort Abel craftsmen
have spent developing their superb reels becomes clear the first time
you fish with one.
Skillfully machined from solid blocks of
high molecular density cold finished 6061-T6 aluminum and 303 stainless
steel, Abel reels maintain an ideal balance of durability, weight and
performance. Every possible facet of Abel reels are beautifully ported,
or ventilated, by CNC (Computer Numerical Control) lathes and mills
without compromising structural integrity. In fact, every machinable
part, right down to the stainless screws, is produced in Abel’s
Camarillo, California facility to insure the utmost in quality control.
All parts are hand polished before assembly. The result is a light, yet
extremely robust reel that can survive a lifetime of fishing. Though
their outward appearance exudes precision, with an Abel reel, it's what
is inside that really counts.
At the center of every Abel Big
Game and Super Series Reel is a large cork composite disk actuated by a
draw bar through the center of the reel. This cork drag system is
elegantly simple, with very few parts, yet, is highly effective. As the
drag knob is tightened, the back of the spool is drawn against the cork
drag disk. This large drag surface can create a substantial amount of
friction and thus can effectively slow a powerful fish. The resultant
heat is the reason that many reel drag systems fail. However, the Abel
open draw bar utilizes the entire spool and frame to dissipate this
heat quicker than any other drag design.
Cork is the only
durable drag material that is compressible, offering a very low
start-up inertia and silky-smooth transition with a wide range of
adjustability The results speak for themselves; fly reels that have
been the most successful in landingfish over 100 pounds, and,
therefore, operate more smoothly and survive the greatest amounts of
stress, have draw bar drags. That’s why, according to the International
Game Fish Association, Abel Fly Fishing Reels landed more World Records
in 2006 than any other brand.
The Leland Team has fished Abel
reels all over the world, from New Zealand to Nantucket, and they have
consistently landed fish without problem, time and time again. Whether
pursuing ocean giants or fishing your favorite trout stream, you can
count on your Abel Reel.
