Abel TR Fly Reel — Native Cutthroat 2/3 WT with Black Aluminum Handle
The return of a classic, machined right here in Montrose. The Abel TR stays true to the roots of the original click-pawl design while bringing a striking modern feel to one of the most iconic reels in fly fishing. The partially-ported frame, integrated precision-balanced clicker, and pronounced palming rim make this one of the most inventive light-line reels Abel has ever produced — and the Native Cutthroat finish pays tribute to one of the most beloved native trout in the American West.
Built for 2 and 3 weight rods, the TR is purpose-designed for technical small stream fishing, delicate dry fly presentations, and protecting light tippet on spooky trout. The carbon and stainless multi-disk drag system delivers substantial resistance with the kind of fine adjustability light-line anglers need, while the iconic click-pawl sound brings the soul of vintage fly fishing into a modern reel.
Every Abel TR is hand machined by Abel's master machinists in Montrose, Colorado, the same machinists who build every Abel reel in the lineup. When you buy an Abel from Ed's Fly Shop, you are buying a reel made by our neighbors right here in our hometown — a fitting home for a reel honoring the cutthroat trout that still swim in our high country headwaters.
