The Abel SDF (Sealed Drag Fresh) was named best new freshwater reel of 2018 by Fly Fisherman Magazine and took Best of Show at the 2017 ICAST/IFTD trade show. It came together after Abel's move to Colorado, when the trout-rich water out their back door pushed the team to take everything they had learned and build a better reel for the river.

The SDF is a scaled-down version of Abel's award-winning SDS saltwater reel, with a stainless steel and carbon fluoropolymer drag system built for years of low-maintenance performance. Drag pressure ranges from zero to ten pounds, with an adjustment range nearly three times wider than the original SD and virtually no start-up inertia. The result is a reel that protects light tippet on a 16 and still has the stopping power for a thick-shouldered brown.

This is the Solid Satin Purple finish with matching Satin Purple drag knob and black aluminum handle, a 4/5 weight reel suited for everything from a small-stream 3-weight up through a 5-weight on the home water. Each SDF is designed and machined in Colorado by people who fish trout for a living. Stop by the shop at 432 E Main St in Montrose to see one in hand.

Comparable to high end mens shops!
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: Blue, Size: Large
Beautiful, heavy blue Oxford comparable to upper end mens store at 75% less! Full cut, great for casual wear or sending out for professional starching. Downside, no pocket, but I had mine monogramed wear the pocket would be and it looks like an expensive dress shirt. I bought more (with pockets) in blue & white

Heavier fabric, very durable
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: Grey, Size: Large
3 stars. Pretty nice shirt but the fabric is a bit firmer than i like. I iron it when i usually wear it so that it looks half decent since wrinkle resistance is low or poor. I usually have to use a higher setting on the fabric since the material is thick making it alot heavier. Overall great for the lower end cost, anything that beats it would probably be double the price. I work in a cubicle so this works well for me, a simple shirt, with a simple color.

No Shirt Pocket!
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: Blue Stripe, Size: X-Large
No Pocket! The material was nice quality, a little thicker than I would have anticipate for a low priced shirt, and very soft. The only disappointment was there was not shirt pocket. I suppose I did not look closely enough at the photos to notice that before I purchased. Otherwise, this is a very comfortable shirt.
