This is the big-water version of Abel's fan-favorite: the SDF Houston Astros Edition in a 7/8 weight. Sized up for streamers, bass, carp, and light saltwater, it wears the Astros palette across an anodized frame and spool, with a drag knob laser-engraved with the team logo and a baseball-lace counterweight that makes the spool look like a stitched ball. The bat-toned wooden handle rounds out the theme.
Like the rest of the MLB series, it ships with a matching Astros nipper. The 7/8 SDF puts the full range of the award-winning sealed drag to work, up to roughly 10 pounds of smooth, sealed stopping power, plenty for the heavier fish this size is built to handle.
