The Abel TR brings the click-pawl classic into the modern era, and in a 5/6 weight it becomes a do-it-all trout reel - light enough to enjoy on a dry-fly rod but sized to handle the bigger water and heavier fish a five- or six-weight sees. This one keeps it clean with a Basic Black frame and an ebony handle.
Machined in Montrose, Colorado from around 21 parts, it carries an integrated, precision-balanced clicker that delivers that unmistakable click-pawl sound with no counterweight. The pronounced palming rim gives you hands-on drag control, and the large-arbor spool keeps line memory down and pickup quick.
