Abel is rolling out a limited edition reel to benefit Western Rivers Conservancy's work to protect outstanding streams in the western United States. To support Western Rivers Conservancy, Abel has produced 75 anodized, Super 7 and Super 10 slate-colored reels specially engraved with the Conservancy's logo.
