The Abel SDF Abstract Rainbow takes the iconic rainbow-trout finish and reimagines it as modern art. This one is hand-painted by Abel's in-house artists as part of the Abstract Series, laying vivid pinks, greens, and silver across a solid 5/6-weight frame in a pattern that's unique to your reel. A dark ebony handle anchors the bright palette.
It's expressive, but there's nothing abstract about the performance. The SDF was named best new freshwater reel of 2018 by Fly Fisherman Magazine, and its sealed drag comes down from Abel's saltwater lineup. You get inertia-free startup that protects light tippet and a broad adjustment range for everyday trout duty on a 5- or 6-weight.
