From Abel: After spending months finding ways to remove as much material as we could from our new Super #3N without compromising the structural integrity, we ended up with a big victory for trout fisherman. A lighter reel with a larger diameter than our Super 2 with virtually the same capacities. As popular as our Super 2 reel has been over the years, it’s time to move on now. All Super 2 reels and spools in our inventory will be sold on the first-come, first-served basis at 25% off our retail price.

Abel did not invent the Large Arbor reel, but they’ve been making them for 12 years, which certainly makes them pioneers. They have developed the perfect ratio of arbor (hub) size to the overall spool. Too big a hub and there’s not enough backing capacity; too small and you’ve defeated the purpose of a large arbor spool. Abel’s? Just right!
