Abel has machined Large Arbor reels for over 10 years, making Abel a pioneer in the field. Most Super Series Reels spools are 100% interchangeable with spools of comparably-sized standard Abel Big Game Reels. Abel calls that InterchangeABELity. You'll call it a miracle. Essentially, it gives you two totally different reels with different line capacities at the price of 1-1/2. Example: Consider a Super 8 reel and Big Game #3 spare spool. The Super 8 holds an 8-weight line with 200 yards of 20# backing, the perfect weapon for bonefish, school stripers and reds; while the interchangeable #3 spool will hold a 12-weight line plus 250 yards of 30# backing, or 500 yards of 50# Spectra, for tarpon and sailfish. Nothing else can compare. No other reels have the ability to interchange spools and frames and no other has the Abel drag system that gives you the ability to Stop-a-Sub. All Super Series reels are ported (ventilated) using a "rounded oblong" design that maintains total strength and rigidity in the metal. They're light, yet retain all of Abel's traditional strength and integrity. DOUBLE PAWL SYSTEM New in 2007, This reel is fitted with Abel's new Double Pawl system. Two pawls instead of one are a bit more reliable when big fish are headed for the horizon; but the best thing is the really neat sound they make. Instead of click click click, double pawl reels hum a merry tune of clickclickclickclick. Wheeee! Abel reel frames and spools are machined from cold finished 6061-T6 aircraft quality aluminum. Cold finished aluminum is significantly more expensive than extruded aluminum, but the cold finishing process dramatically increases the molecular density. It creates a stronger material. Reels are then precision machined (not die cast) on C.N.C. lathes and mills. They are then both machined and hand de-burred, hand polished, cleaned and inspected. The end result is a lightweight reel that's tough as a Marine drill sergeant and destined to be fished by you, your children, grandchildren and theirs! Abel reels are available in over 25 custom anonodized finishes. Each artistically anodized reel is one-of-a-kind. No two are alike because each is anodized individually using our own artistic metallurgical process. ***Black Finishes are readily available. Custom finishes can take up to 8 weeks. Reel Weight Diameter Width Super 8 (8wt-9wt) 8.1 oz. 3.90" 1.125" Backing Capacity 8wt - 200 yds of 20lb. 9wt - 175 yds of 20lb.
