The Abel Reels TR Fly Reel has been a longstanding classic in their line up and after a hiatus for full out start to finish redesign, it's back with dealers starting to see stock arriving at their doorsteps. Visit your local fly shop to put hands on one of these now.
I am kind of a fly reel nerd, especially in the click and pawl variety, with a collection that spans from 1950's English made J.W. Young and Hardy reels to the most modern American built along with everything in between. I can't help but want one of these and hope to get a TR 4/5 in my hands soon.
From the Abel Reels website... "The return of a classic. The new
Abel TR stays true to the roots of the original, but with a striking
modern design and feel. The partial porting of the frame draws from the
Abel lineage, and its unique features are as inventive as anything Abel
has ever produced.
Crafted by our expert machinists in Montrose, Colorado, the TR is a lightweight masterpiece. An integrated precision-balanced clicker on the spool eliminates the need for a counterweight, yielding a clean look and retaining an iconic click-pawl sound. The pronounced palming rim is deliberately shaped to manually control drag pressure in all fishing conditions. The TR also features a large-arbor spool engineered to reduce line memory and increase retrieval rate. Machined stainless steel accents on both the frame and spool add that extra level of detail found only in an Abel reel."
