This Abel SDS is the Bonefish edition in a 7/8 weight - a solid, non-ported frame with a bright platinum aluminum handle, purpose-built for the flats. The 7/8 is the classic bonefish and light-saltwater size, balancing beautifully on a fast saltwater rod.
Sealed Drag Salt is the name and the mission: a fully sealed multi-disc drag that produces over 20 pounds of smooth braking power and locks out salt, sand, and spray. Machined in Colorado from aerospace-grade aluminum, it has the reliability to fight bonefish on light tippet today and stand up to bigger gamefish tomorrow.
