Abel Big Game Series Fly Fishing Reels

0 Model
2-, 3- and 4-weight lines.
When light lines and a Stop-a-Sub drag are required for large fish - New Zealand, Montana's Hebgen Lake and Lassen National Park's Manzanita Lake, for example.

Point .5 Model
5- and 6-weight lines. Interchange spool/frame with a Super 2.
A dedicated 5/6 that will balance equally beautifully with a new graphite or your grandfather's cane rod. Abel's very best selling trout reel.

1 Model
6-, 7- and 8-weight lines. Interchange spool/frame with a Super 4.
From heavy freshwater to light salt, this is the reel that makes the transition. A universal do-it-all and perhaps the best mid-sized reel ever made.

2 Model
7-, 8- and 9-weight lines. Interchange spool/frame with a Super 5.
This was Abel original reel in 1988. It puts the skids to everything from Bristol Bay sockeye salmon to Long Island Sound stripers to Midway Island bonefish and trevally.

3N (Narrow) Model
7-, 8-, 9- and 10-weight lines. Interchange spool/frame with a Super 6.
Still considered by most anglers the perfect bonefish, steelhead/Atlantic salmon reel. It's also stopped dorado, skipjack tuna and, believe it or not, marlin!

3 Model
10-, 11- and 12-weight lines. Interchange spool/frame with a Super 8.
Perfect for tarpon, albacore, false albacore, Atlantic sailfish, roosterfish, dorado, barracuda and other big, fast fish.

4N (Narrow) Model
10-, 11- and 12-weight lines. Interchange spool/frame with a Super 11.
Suited for the same species as the #3 and #4, however many anglers enjoy the advantage of a slightly faster line retrieve due to the narrow spool.

4 Model
11-, 12-, 13- and 14-weight lines.
The answer to Homosassa tarpon, wahoo, sailfish, striped marlin, blue marlin, bluefin and yellowfin tuna and things of that nature. It is a true "big fish" reel, engineered to take the stress and strain of all the large species in the sea.

4.5N (Narrow) Model
12- to 20-weight lines. Interchange spool/frame with a Super 12.
The definitive reel from Newfoundland to Cabo San Lucas for bluefin tuna, striped and blue marlin and on long-range trips to places like Midway or Clipperton Island for giant trevally.

5 Model
12-weight and up.
If you can hook it, this reel will crank it in. This is for the angler who challenges him/herself to catch the largest billfish, tuna and sharks in the world
