The Abel Abstract Series takes the brand's iconic fish finishes and reimagines them as expressive, hand-painted art - each reel finished in-house, each one one-of-a-kind. This Abstract Brown wraps a solid-frame 5/6 TR in the warm golds and dark spots of a brown trout, paired with a dark ebony handle.
Under the paint it is a proper Abel TR: a modern click-pawl reel machined in Montrose, Colorado from around 21 parts. The integrated, precision-balanced clicker preserves that classic click-pawl sound with no counterweight, while the pronounced palming rim gives you hands-on drag control for delicate tippet.
