Product Details
Winner of the best new freshwater reel for 2018 by Fly Fisherman MagazineandBest of Showat the 2017 ICAST/IFTD industry trade show, the SDF comes on the heels of Abels move to Colorado: the trout-based surroundings inspired them to take it up a notch.
Based on the SDS (Sealed Drag Salt), the SDF (Sealed Drag Fresh) is a scaled-down version of the award-winning saltwater titan featuring similar porting and a stainless steel / carbon fluoropolymer drag system. The SDF boasts an enormous amount of drag, an adjustment range almost three times greater than its predecessor, and virtually zero start up inertia.
Abel took what was learned from the SDS design, made sure to include their unmistakable Abel fit and finish, and created the best freshwater reel ever seen.
