Consider an Abel Anti-Revers if you're tired of reels that bruise knackles, break nails and hurt your fingers when a fish makes a long, hot run. On A/R models, the handle doesn't turn when line goes out... thus no more lost fish when a whirling handle meets your rain jacket. A/Rs are the answer for brain surgeons, nuclear phisicists, pool shooters and diamond cutters. Abel A/Rs are lightweight, utilize a unique ball bearing design, and have fewer moving parts. Each A/R reel comes with its own finger wrench for removing the spool.
