Winner of the best new saltwater reel at the ICAST/IFTD show, the SDS (Sealed Drag Saltwater) series represents the pinnacle of fly reel engineering. This series takes the renowned power, reliability, and smoothness Abel is known for and delivers it in a high-performance package designed to conquer the most demanding aquatic environments.
At the heart of the reel is a sophisticated multi-disc drag system. Constructed from a combination of carbon fiber and stainless steel, this system is completely sealed from the elements, ensuring consistent performance whether you are fishing in harsh salt spray or freshwater conditions. The drag yields an incredible range of pressure, providing the delicate finesse needed for fighting bonefish on light tippets while maintaining the raw stopping power required to halt hard-charging tarpon and other large gamefish in their tracks.
Built for ultimate durability and precision, these reels are the perfect choice for anglers who demand excellence and versatility. Whether you are navigating the flats or chasing trophy fish in deeper water, this series offers the technical specifications and reliability necessary for a successful day on the water.
