If anyone is interested in the new Abel super reels they are outstanding. The new Abel super reels have the great cork drag and has been updated. They no longer have the screw in the middle of the drag. The old model had three parts that can get lost when taking the spool off. The new model is only two parts. I also feel the Abel super series is a far better design than the Tibor. Its lighter than the Tibor and again the Tibor has numerous parts that can get lost when taking the reel off. I bought the Abel super 9/10 and love it. It also has clickers you can hear on incoming and outgoing. Love this option.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-Ta8iH4reQ

Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!

I have an older Abel that was my workhorse for nearly 20 years and it could stop a blue whale in its tracks. Shannon's is now carrying Ross and Abel reels.

Two things Rusty, I highly doubt that it could stop a blue whale, and, whales don't make tracks, they make turbulence....I know, I'm really bored, sorry!!

I think it would have been more correct to say that it would stop a blue whale in its wake.

Okay, so maybe a pilot whale then.....but I like my Hatch slightly better. Either way, hard to go wrong with an Abel reel.

Somewhere on some hard drive I have a picture of one of my fly fishing buddies at 7 Presidents Beach sitting on a rock groin with a pilot whale in the surf behind him. It was within easy casting reach....
