Trout or TR/Series reels are magnificent lifetime fishing instruments that
have married the features of a traditional old trout, salmon or steelhead
reel with state-ofthe-art technology.
Each TR has been machined to exacting tolerances, then fitted with a lovely impregnated rosewood plug and handle, lending a custom look that's unique to the fishing world.
But the uniqueness goes far beyond the reel's external cosmetics. We have engineered a pawl click drag system with two enclosed internally-adjusted hex nuts. The offset hex nuts give you a wide range of control of both incoming and outgoing click.
And, while it is highly unlikely, should you desire more or less drag above and beyond the hex nut adjustment, just bend the piano wire beam spring to offer more or less resistance for the type of fish you're after.
T/R rim control reels accommodate 1- to 8 weight lines.

| 1 | 2,3,4 | 95 | 76 | 250 | 200 |
| 2 | 4,5 | 100 | 80 | 260 | 208 |

Fly-fishers have long recognized that the world's spring creeks
present special challenges - from the need for a stealthy approach to casting
tiny flies. Rod, line, leader and clothing manufacturers design products
for the job. Now, there are two reels specifically engineered to answer
critic spring creek problems.Abel's Clear Creek models #1 and #2 are ported (ventilated) for the light weight requing to balance with smaller rods. These are large diameter reels with a narrow spool so that line is in larger coils(reducing kinking) and will retrieve substantially more line with each turn of the handle.
Clear Creek model reels will be produced in a limited run of 600 of each size, sequentially numbered 1/600, 2/600. et cetera, for anglers and tackle collectors.
Thee Abel Clear Creek is machined from a single block of rare, high grade aluminum, then anodized a bronze coral. Reels are fitted with a custom rosewood handle and cap plug.
The heart of the Clear Creek model reels is its click/pawl drag system, with two enclosed internally-adjusted hex nuts. The system allows for virtually unlimited choices for incoming and outgoing click. They are, in a word, magnificent!
Clear Creek may be ordered individually or in a boxed matched serial number set.
