Engineered for extreme saltwater pursuits and powerful gamefish, the Abel SDX 9/11 Fly Reel in Solid Roosterfish Finish with Platinum Handle combines maximum stopping power with iconic hand-anodized artwork. Built around Abel's largest arbor design to date, this 5-inch diameter reel boasts an industry-leading retrieval rate of 15.5 to 17.5 inches per turn—giving you the speed needed to stay connected when fast-moving predators change direction.

Constructed with a solid frame for maximum structural rigidity and line protection, this model features Abel’s striking hand-painted Roosterfish artwork paired with a sleek platinum handle. Its alternating stacked carbon and stainless steel drag system is 100% sealed to lock out salt, sand, and grit, delivering smooth, locked-down drag control when fighting permit, tarpon, roosterfish, or heavy Spey targets.
