Introduced to meet the demands of silver-chasing, long-rod casting fanatics of the Pacific Northwest and beyond, the Classic series was created with the "classic" steelhead/salmon reel in mind. As is every other Abel reel they are machined from lightweight aluminum, but differ from the Super Series in that they fitted with a stong, beautiful sounding click-and-pawl drag system, and capacities for any two-handed casting application.
CLASSIC - The Abel Classic brings back the traditional look and feel of an ultra-lightweight Spey reel, but with the perfect modern fit and finish expected of an Abel.

SWITCH - Lighter and slightly smaller than its big brother, the Abel Switch reel was introduced to be the perfect tool for the burgeoning switch rod community. It will easily hold 5/6/7 weight Switch or Spey lines with plenty of room for backing, without adding excess weight.

SPEY - A perfect fit for those on big water throwing Spey and Skagit lines in the 8/9/10 category. The standard arbor gives plenty of room for the thickest of lines, making it large in capacity and light on weight.
