Abel Anti/Reverse Reels utilize a unique ball bearding design, have fewer moving parts and weight about 25% less than our competitors reels. Now machined with the same oblong ventilation holes as Big Game models, they weigh even LESS!
Unlike a traditional single action fly reel, on an anti/reverse, the handle does not turn when a fish runs. Each A/R reel comes with its own finger wrench for removing the spool. Yes, fish caught on an anti/reverse reel are eligible for IGFA World Records.
Reels also have the option of coming with a rosewood, ebony, zebra, walnut, or NEW Aluminum handle.
