Abel SDF Fly Reel Solid - DeYoung Brook Flank - 4/5 WT with Black Handle

The Abel SDF DeYoung Brook Flank in a 4/5 weight puts artist Derek DeYoung's electric brook-trout artwork on a solid-frame reel, then keeps the accents clean and modern with a machined black handle. The dark handle lets the vermiculated greens, blue halos, and orange belly of the brook-trout flank take center stage. It's a collector-grade reel that still wants to be fished.

The 4/5 size is dialed for dry-fly and small-water trout, exactly the water where brookies live. Named best new freshwater reel of 2018 by Fly Fisherman Magazine, the SDF runs Abel's fully sealed drag with inertia-free startup to protect light tippet and a wide, smooth adjustment range.
