Abel Big Game No. 4 - REEL1066

The Abel Big Game No. 4 is a legendary workhorse designed for the most demanding saltwater environments. Rated for 11, 12, and 13-weight lines, this reel is built to target tarpon, giant trevally, and billfish where failure is not an option. As a standard arbor reel, it offers tremendous backing capacity, providing the necessary insurance when a pelagic species makes a blistering run toward the horizon. Its substantial weight balances effectively with heavy saltwater rods, anchoring your setup for fighting big fish from the boat or the beach.

Abel’s reputation for bombproof durability was forged with this series. Machined from solid aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, the Big Game No. 4 is engineered to withstand the corrosive nature of saltwater and the physical abuse of travel. The core of this reel is its signature draw-bar cork drag system. Known for its reliability, the drag offers zero start-up inertia to protect heavy shock tippets while delivering the stopping power required to halt a freight train in the surf.

This pre-owned reel is in great condition, displaying only a few light marks typical of honest fishing use. The cork drag has been perfectly maintained, ensuring the drag pressure remains smooth and consistent right out of the box. The mechanism is square toothed with a double pall. Investing in a used Abel allows you to own a piece of American-milled history and renowned performance without the premium price tag of a modern retail purchase.
