Abel TR 5/6 - REEL1170

Strip away the unnecessary complications of modern disc drags and you are left with the pure acoustic perfection of the Abel TR 5/6 Fly Reel. Built with exactly 21 meticulously machined parts, this click pawl masterpiece is designed for purists who want an authentic, unfiltered connection to every fish. It provides the ideal balance for 5-weight and 6-weight fly rods, making it the ultimate companion for chasing large trout on technical tailwaters and expansive freestone rivers. The time-honored click and pawl mechanism offers a smooth outgoing tension that protects delicate tippets while providing just enough resistance to prevent line overrun when a wild trout bolts for the current.

Precision machined by expert craftsmen in Montrose, Colorado, the reel features an advanced large arbor design that increases line retrieval rates and minimizes line memory. Abel eliminated the traditional external counterweight by engineering an innovative, integrated precision-balanced clicker directly inside the spool, resulting in a perfectly smooth spin without any wobble. A pronounced palming rim gives you complete manual control over drag pressure when a fish demands extra resistance. Look inside the frame and you will find beautifully milled silhouettes of a stonefly, caddis, and mayfly, celebrating the insects that drive our passion.
