Abels are the finest reel you can buy. A true "lifetime" reel that will never wear out. We have been fishing them for over 10 years in Alaska and have never had one fail. A large cork disc drag, double pawls, and ingeniously simple design are just a few of an Abel's great feautures. Once you fish one you will never go back. Color is gloss black. We can special order custom colors and designs, as well. Note that Abel reels are not quick release. However, they can be disassembled in under 30 seconds with a screwdriver, penny, or a dime.
