Abel Reels are famous for their toughness and reliability, especially in saltwater where big powerful fish can wreck average tackle. We've personally used Abel reels for twenty five years and can attest to their ability to function in the toughest conditions on fish from bonefish to blue marlin. Several of the Abel #3 big game reels I own I still use for both permit and tarpon. One of my all time favorite big tarpon reels is the Abel Ported 4N. Now I can slip a wide arbor spool into the frame and it becomes a Super 11! What a great idea, allowing you to use one reel on two different line size rods. Another favorite combo is a Super 8 bonefish reel that holds a 8-weight line with 200 yards of backing, but then slip in a #3 Big Game spool and turn this reel into a 10, 11 or even a 12 weight line reel , perfect for permit and tarpon with enought capacity for 250 yards of 30 lb. backing!
