Abel's Rove is the brand's tough, travel-anywhere reel, and this 4/6 wears the Native Brown finish - a warm brown-trout-inspired anodizing - matched with a Native Brown drag knob and a black aluminum handle. It is the reel for anglers who like their gear to look at home on a trout river but hold up to seasons of hard use.
Built around Abel's field-serviceable cork drag and a caged, reinforced frame, the Rove is designed to go the distance without a backup in your pack. Machined in Colorado, it balances a wide range of 4- through 6-weight rods and swallows plenty of backing.
