The Abel TR is the modern return of a click-pawl classic, and in a 2/3 weight it is the reel built for the smallest, most delicate work - light-line trout on tight streams and mountain creeks. This one pairs a clean Basic Black frame with a dark ebony handle for an understated, timeless look.
Machined in Montrose, Colorado from roughly 21 parts, the TR is a featherlight reel with an integrated, precision-balanced clicker that keeps the iconic click-pawl song without needing a counterweight. A pronounced palming rim lets you feather pressure by hand - exactly the control you want when a wild fish bolts on 6X.
