Abel SDF Fly Reel Solid - DeYoung Brown Flank - 4/5 WT with Deep Green Handle

Here's a striking take on a favorite: the Abel SDF DeYoung Brown Flank 4/5 with a rich deep green handle. Derek DeYoung's painterly brown-trout flank wraps the solid frame, and the deep green handle picks up the mossy, riverbank tones in the artwork for a genuinely custom look. At 4/5 it's the ideal size for dry-fly and small-water fishing.

It's a reel that displays like art and fishes like a workhorse. The SDF was named best new freshwater reel of 2018 by Fly Fisherman Magazine and carries Abel's sealed, saltwater-derived drag, delivering inertia-free startup that guards fine tippet and plenty of stopping power in reserve.
