Description: Up for bid is an un-used Abel Super 11 Fly Reel that has all the specs and features that make this Reel a classic for medium and large Tarpon - durable matte black finish, wood Handle, fully ported face & back, large Arbor and knurled Drag Knob. With original Pouch in equal condition. I bought this Reel new several years ago, and served as my back-up to another Abel Super 11 Reel which I still use for most of my Tarpon fishing. However, Abel's don't really need back-ups, and after several years, its become obvious that I will probably never have a need for this Reel. Although this Reel has traveled a few times, it has rarely been taken out of its Pouch, and remains un-used and un-fished. I doubt it has ever been mounted to a Reelseat. Currently set up for Lefthand retrieve, but can easily be converted with simple tools following Instructions on Abel's website. The only thing preventing me from listing the Reel as New / Un-used, is the mark left by the ( yellow ) Backing when attached. I've done my best to depict this most obviously, in the photos. Perhaps this can be buffed out by someone more knowledgeable than me. I have left the Line and Backing on the Reel - my favorite combination of a RIO tropical floating 11WF Line with clear intermediate Tip, and 50# Gelspun Backing. The Line and Backing have never been wet, and the Loop at the end of the Line does not look like a Leader has ever been attached to it. The Reel and Pouch have beed stored together in my non-smoking home. I hope the Reel offers a lifetime of use, to someone who appreciates these older Abels as much as I do. Good luck bidding.
