Wanigas Rod Company

Wanigas Reels

Wanigas engaged Abel Automatics Inc. to produce a unique fly reel built to balance properly with the weight of a bamboo rod. The Abel name is known worldwide for quality in building the best commercial reels in the world. A properly balanced outfit is a must for any fisherperson to cast well. Today's more modern rod materials have redirected the real producers to lighter and lighter models. Bamboo rods require a reel with a bit more substance to get that necessary balance.

Our Abel Custom reels are solid frame and spool reels, suitable for 4, 5, and 6-weight lines with backing.  This design harks back to an original Abel TR series of solid reels and a number of the older classic fly reels built by Hardy, Vom Hoffe, Walker, and Bogdan. The two sizes are because Abel made the TR2 model, then the Abel Creek model, both reels are exactly the same inside. The larger is marked "AC1" and .60" wide and the smaller "TR2" and .70" wide. Also, available is a Super 4N, 6/7 weight solid frame model with Abel's "stop a train" drag to compliment larger line sizes and bigger water fishing conditions.
