Abel SDS 7/8 Fly Reel with Baja Fade Custom Finish, ebony finish handle

This is a brand new in box, unused Abel reel with backing already installed. I am selling it for a friend. He was looking at it at a fly shop and accidentally dropped it. As a result, there's a scrape on the edge of the face of the reel, shown in the third image here. He did the right thing and bought the reel, having slightly damaged it. This is a functionally perfect reel that's no more damaged than it would be after your second or third trip to the flats. Lists for $1,450. Price reflects the minor cosmetic issue. Free shipping to lower 48 only via UPS.
