The Abel Abstract Series turns the brand's classic fish finishes into free-form, hand-painted art - finished in-house, one reel at a time. The Abstract Rainbow reads like a wild rainbow trout run through a painter's imagination, and on this solid-frame 4/5 TR with an ebony handle, yours will be unlike any other.
The TR is Abel's modern click-pawl trout reel, machined in Montrose, Colorado from about 21 parts. An integrated, precision-balanced clicker keeps that classic click-pawl sound without a counterweight, and the pronounced palming rim lets you meter drag by hand - just what you want on light 4- or 5-weight tippet.
