The partial porting of the frame draws straight from the Abel lineage, and the features are as inventive as anything the company has ever built. For us, this one is personal: every TR is machined right here in Montrose, the same town as our shop, by Abel's own crew of trout junkies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular TR wears Derek DeYoung's Brook Flank finish, a brook trout pattern that wraps the frame in the colors of the fish you are chasing. Paired with a warm rosewood handle, it is as much a piece of art as it is a fishing tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart is a precision-balanced, dual-pawl clicker integrated into the spool, which does away with a counterweight for a clean look while keeping that iconic click-pawl sound. The mechanical incoming click complements the smooth, audible feel of the outgoing drag, and the carbon and stainless multi-disk system delivers substantial resistance with enough fine adjustment to protect delicate tippet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA large-arbor spool cuts line memory and speeds up your retrieve, while the pronounced palming rim lets you feather drag pressure by hand in any condition. The partially ported frame strikes the balance of weight, sound, and looks Abel is known for, with milled silhouettes of a stonefly, caddis, and mayfly hidden inside. Just 21 meticulously machined parts, a quick-change threaded spool, and machined stainless accents on the frame and spool round out a reel built to fish for a lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt in the USA, made in our backyard.

This solid-frame 4\/5-weight carries DeYoung's vivid interpretation of a brook trout's flank, all worms, halos, and blue-haloed spots, warmed by a hand-shaped \u003cstrong\u003erosewood handle\u003c\/strong\u003e. It's as much a collector's piece as a fishing tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it fishes as well as it displays. The SDF was named best new freshwater reel of 2018 by Fly Fisherman Magazine, and the 4\/5 size is ideal for dry-fly and small-water trout. Its sealed drag traces back to Abel's saltwater reels, giving you inertia-free startup that protects light tippet and a wide, smooth adjustment range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDerek DeYoung Brook Flank artwork on a solid frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm rosewood handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed stainless steel and carbon fluoropolymer drag, up to roughly 10 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4\/5 weight for dry-fly and small-stream setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge-arbor spool for faster retrieve and reduced line memory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVirtually zero start-up inertia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser-convertible left- or right-hand retrieve, quick-change spool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and machined in Colorado, made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeYoung editions don't sit around long.
