Killer deal with the 4110

I have heard the price of Abel's has gone up $200 USD on new orders from the factory as the company was losing money on every reel. Once local retailers sell out of current stock expect the price on new stock to be up the $200 USD.

$1000.00 at Harbour chandler
hope they are good for that price !

 

[ziggy]

Wow at that price they better not only catch more and bigger salmon, they need to clean and vacuum seal them as well!

 

[scott craven]

It's obvious from the price point that Abel are the Cadillac of reels,
but I have to ask why they are so expensive ?
you would think they are machined from Titanium ?

Prices are not going up the only increase you will see is exchange rate and that will reflect in price like everything else we pay to much for

Sure like my diawa 275's. So nice when your finished with them you can just through them in the cuddy and there good to to.

What the maintenance program with Abel? The usual rinse every use and re oil everything every 5 trips?

Nope pretty maintenance free I rinse them with my gear at end of day. Lube and oil at end of season

Well that good news, sounds better than islander.

Pffffft.......there is a tech flown in bi-weekly during the offseason and weekly during the regular season to ensure they're all lubed/greased up.

Ask a local retailer. You will find out the retail price is increasing $200 USD once they have to order new stock. I just confirmed this with a local retailer.

Just giving people a heads up to save them some money. Look at the Abel website. Standard Colour Mooching reel was retail $695 USD and is now $895 USD add exchange and see where the price is going to be.

The 2 Abels that I have used suffered from 'line creep', same as every Islander that I have ever used.
They sure are beautifully manufactured, though.

Yes they are necessary to catch tyees

 

[Rayvon]

Let's see,I can buy 1 abel for $900 or 7 Shimano's that last forever,Hmmmmmmm.I've decided.

They're not for everyone. Thats for sure. But neither are Rolex's or Range Rovers...Some people just appreciate the added value of hand made craftsmanship made in America...
