Abel Sealed Drag Freshwater (SDF) Reels
Winner of the best new freshwater reel at the 2017 ICAST/IFTD show, the SDF comes on the heels of Abel’s move to Colorado.
Based on the SDS (Sealed Drag Salt), the SDF (Sealed Drag Fresh) is a scaled-down version of the award-winning saltwater titan featuring similar porting and a stainless steel / carbon fluoropolymer drag system. The SDF boasts an enormous amount of drag, an adjustment range almost three times greater than its predecessor, and virtually zero start up inertia. This reel is stunning to behold, an artform of machining.
