To meet the demands of steelhead, salmon and other big water anglers using Spey techniques, we’ve come up with the definitive tool: the Abel Spey Reel. It has been engineered, machined and anodized meticulously as you would expect, but also created with a specific design and capacity aimed at long-rod anglers.
Featuring a fully enclosed frame and Abel’s time-tested adjustable pawl-click drag, the reel is styled in an “old school” fashion, reminiscent of classic European spey reels, but with a craftsmanship only possible in a made-in-the-USA version.
But more than just being a “good looker,” it’s the perfect instrument for Pacific Northwest steelheading or classic Atlantic salmon, with a drag capable of putting a big hurt on these hard-running fish.
