Abel debuted the all-new Abel TR Fly Reel at the 2018 Denver Fly Fishing Show earlier this month. Bringing back the classic click-and-pawl trout reel series, there is no disputing that the new TR is an extremely handsome reel. Abel is shooting for a spring (fingers crossed, April) release of the new TR, which will be available in two sizes (2/3 and 4/5). The new TR features a unique half-ported/half-solid design on the frame which will show off some of those classic Abel custom finishes really well. Another notable feature is the lack of a visible counter-balance. This was done with strategic positioning of the internal click mechanism. As always, we can always count on Abel for a unique touch and they've outdone themselves with some internal engraving.

Half-ported/Half-Solid. All Abel.

The Abel TR truly is a trout reel and Abel engraved a caddis fly, mayfly, and stonefly in the interior of the reel to drive that point home. It's the little things.

As always, the Abel machining is second to none.
