Designed for anglers pursuing the most demanding freshwater and saltwater species, the SDX Series represents Abel's largest-arbor, highest-capacity fly reel platform. Engineered wi th the fastest line retrieval rates ever offered by Abel—up to 17.5 inches per revolution—the SDX delivers exceptional control, rapid line recovery, impressive backing capacity, and the durability required for hard-fighting gamefish. The SDX Series is offered in two sizes, 9/11 and 12/14, featuring oversized 5-inch and 5.5-inch diameters that maximize line pickup and reduce slack during critical moments. Built for tropical flats anglers targeting permit, tarpon, and giant trevally, the SDX is equally at home in the Spey world, where fast retrieval and ample capacity are valued by anglers pursuing steelhead and salmon. For offshore adventures, the SDX 12/14 provides the strength and capacity needed for powerful bluewater species including tuna, marlin, sailfish, and mako sharks. From the shallow flats of the Yucatán Peninsula to remote destinations in the Seychelles, the SDX Series is engineered for situations where speed, power, and reliability matter most. When a trophy fish makes its longest run, the SDX is built to keep pace.
