Abel SDF 5/6 Colorado Flag Finish - REEL1135

The Abel SDF 5/6 is built for the demanding currents of the most iconic western waterways. This reel feels at home on the heavy flows of the Colorado River or the technical runs of the South Platte. It provides the ideal balance for 5-weight or 6-weight setups that need to punch through afternoon winds and protect light tippets when a trophy trout decides to run. The large arbor design allows for rapid line pickup and ensures your fly line remains free of tight coils during long days on the water.

This reel features the award winning Sealed Drag Fresh system which uses a stacked carbon fiber and stainless steel disc set to deliver incredible stopping power. The frame and spool are precision machined from aerospace grade 6061-T6 aluminum to withstand seasons of hard use. What sets this specific reel apart is the hand painted Colorado Flag finish. This vibrant design serves as a tribute to the high country and is perfectly complemented by a premium platinum handle. It is a functional piece of art that reflects the heritage of the Rocky Mountains.
