I have owned ABEL fly reels for more than 20 years. I think you could compare them to a Land Cruiser - solid, strong and will never let you down. I have a small '1' and some Super 8s for saltwater. I can't imagine them ever wearing - or letting you down.  

Fully made in the USA they are spectacular value for money - even though some might think they are expensive.

Slow and glass are not mutually exclusive these days. Anything Tim Rajeff builds is worth looking at. So when he came up with the Echo Glass Series people took notice. Remember Tim is a caster of some note so nothing leaves Echo without him designing some brilliance into it.
Don't think because this is fibreglass it floppy like grand dad's old 2 pieces of slowness. The Bad Ass Glass was designed to tackle the last fiberglass frontier: big water and big fish. Perfect for saltwater or big fish from a kayak where the fish don't respect you. Under around the kayak, under a log or just heading for the distance this will stop them. Fighting power - and fiberglass fun.

Only available in 8'.

A Scientific Angler MPX line is the perfect line for this rod.

This is a very impressive rod, that only casting will its magic be revealed.
