Abel SDX Saltwater Reels

Featuring the largest arbor and fastest line pickup Abel has ever engineered (15.5”–17.5” per rotation), SDX delivers maximum control, massive backing capacity, a new larger handle, and bulletproof reliability when it matters most.

Available in two sizes—9/11 and 12/14—with 5” and 5.5” diameters for blazing-fast retrieval. Built for permit, tarpon, and giant trevally on the flats, or Spey anglers swinging for steelhead and salmon. The SDX 12/14 is tuned for bluewater giants—tuna, makos, marlin, and sailfish.

Whether you’re stalking mangroves in the Yucatán or running offshore in the Seychelles, SDX is built for the moment when everything runs.
