Abel Super Series Fly Fishing Reels
Fly fishing is a pricey endeavor. And it can be especially pricey if you choose to invest in the highest of high-end gear, such as Abel reels, which are widely considered to be the best, our research indicates. Their Super Series Reels cost about $750 apiece. That's a chunk, yes, but it's not as hefty as it may seem at first. That's because they have spools that are interchangeable with comparably sized spools in the Abel Big Game Series. So you could, for instance, end up with a reel that holds 8-weight and 12-weight line, in effect giving you two reels for the price of one-and-a-half. Abel reels have legendary drag system. And their Super Series Reels are also "ventilated," meaning holes are drilled into the material to reduce weight without sacrificing strength. This is a reel fish fear.
After thorough independent research, we selected the Abel Super Series Fly Fishing Reels as a 3LUXE "Best Of", to see our other two Fishing Reel selections visit our Fishing Reel Overview.

FEATURES
- Super Series Reels spools are 100% interchangeable with spools of comparably-sized standard Abel Big Game Reels. We call 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.
