SOLD: Abel Super 5 w/ 2x No. 2 Spools

Sold

Abel Super 5 comes with 2 No. 2 spools. Line on one is Rio WF8F/S6 and the other is Rio WF8F. I've owned the reel and spools for less than a year. Used rarely since I fish mostly for smaller trout with a smaller lighter weight setup. I thought about using this for Steelhead but I don't think that will happen this year, so I prefer to use the funds for other fishing gear. Check photos for condition. Used but not abused. LH retrieve, but I think it can be changed to right easily--the cork and sprocket assembly was changed earlier this year. Sold

I'd be interested in a trade for 5/6wt chrome or nickel finish reel of similar quality. Something like the Ross F1 #2 or #3.

Curious, the knurled knob says Abel #2, is the 5 a misprint?

Curious about the label on the reel also. Would be interested but worried about misrepresentation.

The knob is for the spool. The reel body is from a Super 5 that came with a No 2 spool. I picked up another No 2 spool for a total of 2. No Super 5 spool. I could have listed the reel as a No 2 but I feel that would be dishonest knowing it originally was a Super 5. This combo is from when Abel had the ability to interchange spools across different specific reels.

Read down the model column for Super Series reels. Same for Big Game.

The inside of the reel showing the new sprocket. Set up for LH retrieve but easily switched to RH.
