This is a true collector's-grade Abel SDF: a solid-frame 6/7-weight in a rich Satin Olive finish, topped with a Wild Trout drag knob and Casey Underwood's Mayfly Flurry engraving. It's a reel that looks as good on the bench as it does clamped to a streamer rod, and the walnut handle warms up the whole package.
Sized at 6/7, it's the muscle end of Abel's freshwater line, happy throwing big bugs for heavy trout, chasing smallmouth, or dabbling in light salt. The SDF earned best new freshwater reel of 2018 from Fly Fisherman Magazine, and this one carries that award-winning sealed drag under some genuinely special artwork.
